the website has some pictures, it makes the material look naturally weathered, but it does not preserve the natural unweathered look, it turns it greyhttp://www.valhalco.com

Goes on basically clear, supposedly protects wood and allows it to grey over time. suggest you call the company.

Depends on the wood species. I've used it on various soft woods from cedar to douglas fir and they turned various shades of gray with the color deepening over time and exposure to the sun and elements. The bits of scrap I have experimented with on other woods all have slightly different reactions. You just have to test and see. It's not a set rule.

I have used it on pine which turned a golden brown and ceder that turned grey (which is its natural aged color). It looks pretty natural to me.

It's very dark grey, nearly black. We set ours in a place with aspen trees and to compare it to the bark of the trees it looks black.

The exterior is wood in a sort of charcoal grey color. It's nice and blends into the background if that's what you're looking for.

Water. I was very skeptical at first but after using 20 gallons of the product, I am a believer. The product turns wood a rustic, weathered color as they say it will. I am still a little skeptical on the durability and longevity of this product, time will tell. Bottom line is it makes new wood look old.

It is Orange Shellac. It will darken the wood. I would take a sample piece of the new wood and experiment. Give the knots a double coat.

It is the dark wood color. It doesn't look red at all. It's a beautiful color.

The "natural" sisal rope is a bit yellowish, about the same color value as a role of masking tape and a bit more yellow than a piece of white, untreated pine. Ours was used in an outdoor setting; the color blended into the environment as it was "natural".

Hi, I am an owner of a furniture restoration company and I have worked with a lot of different types of woods and finishes. As far as pine is concerned, truthfully you never wil truly know what you are going to get when you finish it. I have always found that I would get different shades if yellowing when a finish is applied to natural pine. Some are this amber or yellowing finishes are desirable. As far as the birchwood Casey product. The is a very good finish that is above average for its application and above average for desired finish . But, yes if it is applied to pine it will yellow out. But, this is the woods reaction to finish. I have not witnessed a yellowing because of age with birchwood Casey products. Further, If it is your desire to use an economical type of wood, that has a similar but tighter grain, I would recommend you check out hemlock

we have golden oak cabinets. It's not a true match, it's darker than the golden oak, so definetely darker than natural oak finish. It is a nice looking piece of furniture, but not oakey, more a cinamon color. (they call it a distressed oak, but it's not oak wood). it can work as a compliment to your natural oak, but not a match.

We used it for a cat scratch post so color was not so important - but I agree with other posts that define it as natural,straw color.

It is like a natural color that ranges between shades of ivory, ecru, tan, or grey. Hope it helps.

Not sure. We use our cabinet for liquor. I researched this type of wood. It will get a grey color when wet. It does make a great liquor cabinet though.

I think "Natural Pine" is for "solid pine" but the stands are brown finish.

I agree with the other responses. The wood has been finished with a lacquer or polyurethane. It could be removed with a stripper, and would then need to be sanded before staining. It would take some work especially with hand sanding in small areas. I suggest you live with the natural for a while and then see how you feel about it...

yep, I cut red oak 4x4s and treated them for sign posts .. they turned a hardy dark grey.

Natural finish is a transparent finish which doesn't alter the original color of the grain of the natural wood. Natural finishes are usually provided by sealers, oils, Varnishes, water repellent preservatives and other similar materials. So yes it will have something over the wood....but it will still have the "natural wood" look to it without say, the splinters. ;)
