Can anyone suggest a finish on new pine (thin strips of wood) that has
this colour (3rd door down - victorian door on following site) -

I can't use wax due to water splashes. Have tried danish oil but colour
remains the same - ie: new bright Pine, but want the darker look that
the waxed door has . Hope this makes sense. Ideas?


Add some wood stain to the oil. I find that mixing spirit based wood
stain with oil causes the stain to be spread more evenly over the wood
surface.
