Minwax 401140000 Color Wash Stain Quart Barnwood Brown

Product Description

The Minwax 401140000 is a transparent interior wood stain in a quart container, formulated in the Barnwood Brown colorway. It applies a light, translucent tint to bare wood surfaces or layers over existing stain to add depth and tone without fully obscuring the natural grain. The water-based formula carries low odor and cleans up with soap and water, making it practical for interior job sites and occupied spaces. Dry time is approximately 2 hours under normal conditions. This product is suited for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and woodworking tradespeople working on interior millwork, furniture, and decorative wood surfaces.

This stain is intended for interior wood applications only. It performs well on bare or previously stained wood such as trim, doors, cabinetry, shelving, and furniture. The transparent finish allows the natural wood character to show through while shifting the overall tone toward the Barnwood Brown color. It is not formulated for exterior use or for surfaces that will be exposed to moisture or UV. Interior residential and light commercial finishing projects are the primary use case.
