Quickly and easily give your interior wood projects a beautiful, rich color with Minwax Wood Finish. This oil-based wood stain deeply penetrates the wood fibers to enhance the natural wood grain in just one coat, providing beautiful, even color. The Provincial shade offers a classic dark wood stain with deep and rich brown undertones, looking great on a wide variety of projects and types of wood.

It’s perfect for interior wood projects such as unfinished wood furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and floors, and can work on any bare or stripped wood surface. The special formula allows it to deeply penetrate wood pores within 5 minutes of application, resists lapping for an even color, and dries in as little as two hours (for stain recoat if desired). To apply, just use a clean cloth or wood stain brush and apply in the direction of the grain. Wait 5-15 minutes, then wipe away excess stain. The longer you wait before wiping, the darker and richer the color will become. You can reapply coats after 2-4 hours for even deeper color. For long-lasting durability, always wait 4-6 hours (or as directed on the can) before applying a Minwax protective clear topcoat. Minwax is America’s leading brand of wood finishing and wood care projects since 1904.

Application Instructions (Summarized from Description):

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure wood is bare, dry, and free of dirt, grease, or old finishes. Sand smooth and remove all dust. Consider Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner for soft/porous woods.
  2. Stir Stain: Stir Minwax Wood Finish stain thoroughly before and occasionally during use.
  3. Application: Apply stain liberally with a clean cloth or wood stain brush in the direction of the wood grain.
  4. Penetration: Allow the stain to penetrate the wood for 5-15 minutes.
  5. Wipe Off Excess: After desired penetration time, wipe off all excess stain thoroughly with a clean, lint-free cloth, wiping in the direction of the wood grain.
  6. Drying & Recoating (Stain): The stain typically dries in about 2 hours. If a deeper color is desired, a second coat of stain can be applied after 2-4 hours (time dependent on color).
  7. Topcoat Application: Wait 4-6 hours (or longer, as specified on the can, depending on conditions) after the final stain application and wiping before applying a protective clear topcoat like Minwax Polyurethane or Polycrylic.

Product Questions

Q1: What does the Provincial color look like? Is it very dark?

Minwax Provincial is described as a dark wood stain that provides a beautiful, deep, and rich color with classic brown undertones. It’s darker than shades like Golden Oak but typically not as dark as Ebony or Jacobean, offering a sophisticated, traditional dark brown appearance.

Q2: The description mentions drying in 2 hours but also waiting 4-6 hours for a topcoat. Can you clarify?

The 2-hour dry time generally refers to when the stain is dry enough to touch or to apply another coat of stain if you want a deeper color (the product notes mention “apply a second coat after 2-4 hours”). However, oil-based penetrating stains need more time for the oils and solvents to fully evaporate before a protective topcoat (like polyurethane or Polycrylic) can be safely applied. That’s why a longer wait of 4-6 hours (or even more, depending on conditions and the specific topcoat) is recommended before sealing the stain.

Q3: Is a pre-stain wood conditioner necessary before using Provincial stain?

Using Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner is highly recommended, especially on soft or porous woods like pine, fir, maple, or alder, even with darker stains like Provincial. It helps the wood absorb the stain more evenly, preventing blotching and ensuring a more uniform, professional-looking finish.
