Minwax 70005 Colonial Maple Wood Finish Quart

Product Description

The Minwax 70005 is a quart-size oil-based wood finish formulated in a Colonial Maple color tone. It penetrates bare wood to enhance the natural grain while depositing a rich, consistent stain color. The formula meets national VOC compliance standards, making it suitable for use across all U.S. regions without reformulation concerns. This product is used by finish carpenters, cabinet installers, millwork contractors, and experienced DIYers who need a reliable penetrating stain for interior wood surfaces. Each unit weighs 8.64 pounds and is sold individually.

Colonial Maple is a warm, medium-brown tone suited for oak, pine, maple, and similar hardwood and softwood species commonly used in interior trim, flooring, furniture, and cabinetry. The VOC-compliant formula is appropriate for enclosed residential and commercial interior environments where air quality and code compliance are a priority. It is intended for use on raw, unfinished, or previously stripped wood surfaces prior to the application of a compatible topcoat.
