Stain is terrible… has a pink tint. Should be a white pickled oak stain. Lends a whitewash look to the natural wood.

The finish produced by minwax oil based stain is superior to anything else available

I wanted a stain for a mantle i was working on and i read online that classic gray 271 combined with varathane english chestnut would create the ideal grayish brown hue
