Minwax has ruined enough of my projects. I’m looking for recommendations for wood finishing products, particularly stains and wiping varnishes, that actually work, are readily available on the East coast of the United States, and are not manufactured by Sherwin-Williams.

Pine is a harder to stain wood in my experience. Maybe there’s a treatment you can use ahead of time? I’ve had decent luck with shellac on pine and you can dissolve dyes in it.
