Minwax 70011 Driftwood Wood Finish Stain 1 Quart

Product Description

The Minwax 70011 is a penetrating oil-based wood finish stain in the Driftwood color tone, formulated for use on bare and stripped interior wood surfaces. It delivers consistent color penetration into wood grain while meeting nationally VOC compliant formula requirements. This product ships in a one-quart container and is applied by brush, cloth, or foam applicator. It is commonly used by finish carpenters, cabinet makers, and millwork installers who need predictable color results across natural wood species. The nationally VOC compliant formula meets regulations across major regulatory jurisdictions without requiring a separate regional SKU.

This stain is suited for interior residential and light commercial applications including furniture, cabinetry, doors, trim, and decorative millwork. It works on raw or properly prepared wood surfaces where a penetrating finish is preferred over a surface film. The Driftwood tone produces a weathered, gray-brown appearance that complements both contemporary and coastal design styles. It is typically top-coated with a compatible polyurethane or clear finish once the stain has fully dried per the manufacturer's dry time guidance.
