I am using poly shade bombay mahagany on pine cabinets like everyone said their is a trick. What i did was condition the pine, apply a stain with dye wipe off excess, then spray poly shade with air brush to tint as needed, wow does it look good all the grain pops and has depth. Then 3 coats of poly semi gloss customer loves it he said looks like fine furniture. A lot of work but that is what it takes to make a project look good. When the project is built and sanded you are only have done the finishing is just as hard if not harder and takes longer than building the project
