Jacobean is one of the deep brown shades of Minwax Wood Finish, and this is the 32 oz quart (Minwax 70014). How dark it ends up is largely up to you: the stain penetrates bare wood, and the longer it sits before you wipe, the richer the color. It is meant for unfinished interior wood such as furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding and hardwood floors.

Sand the bare wood with 220 grit along the grain and dust it off. Pine and other softwoods can stain unevenly, so Minwax suggests a pre-stain wood conditioner first. Stir the can, try the stain on a hidden spot of the same wood, then brush or wipe it on and wipe the excess off with the grain. A short wait before wiping gives a lighter brown; a longer wait gives a deeper Jacobean.
Not dark enough? Add a second coat after 2 hours without sanding in between. When the color is right, let it dry completely and protect it with a clear polyurethane.
The stain is flammable. Oil-soaked rags can catch fire on their own if not disposed of properly, so follow the label and SDS, and never pour leftover stain down a drain. Other shades and sizes: Minwax Wood Finish stain.
How do I make Jacobean darker? Minwax says the longer you wait to wipe off the stain, the darker and richer the color. For more depth, apply a second coat after 2 hours, without sanding between coats.
How much will one quart stain? Minwax rates Wood Finish at 400 to 500 sq ft per gallon, so a quart covers about 100 to 125 sq ft per coat.
Do I need a topcoat? Yes. Once the color is where you want it and the stain is fully dry, Minwax recommends a clear protective finish such as Fast-Drying Polyurethane or Polycrylic.
