Guess it depends on the applicator.

I think some people also expect oil stains to somehow act like paint
and turn any wood the exact color on the can label. Not realizing it
is an art with many factors such as the type of wood, how the wood is
prepared, how the stain is applied, etc.

I say this from experience because I only learned this via the school
of hard knocks and by making lots of mistakes and finally I stopped
blaming Minwax.
