Have you thought about a clear preservative instead of a color stain? That’s what we did with our new deck in Washington. We used Bear Wood Protector. We had to apply it yearly but it left the wood in a natural state.

The only thing I found when I Googled Bear Wood Protector was your post here.

Everything is tomorrow. Next door neighbors graduation party and the town fireworks.
One will screw up the other.
How early you get to the fireworks, determines how fast you get out of the parking lot when they are over.
You get to sit around for hours waiting for it to get dark!
But the party is the same time the parking lots open up.
Can’t drop off a car, because you can’t get dropped off later.
Of course, because a party would mean people, hubby is willing to dump it totally.

Absolutely would not use a Behr product on the deck. Did that once on the old deck, stripped, cleaned, put it on; didn’t last a year.
Just offered the correct spelling; not a recommendation.
Besides, irrespective of any stain/sealant’s claims, two initial coats are usually required for any real durability of protection.
We are watching a friend’s kids so she and her husband can keep their preplanned date night out of town, that her family member who was watching the kids threatened to ruin by backing out on watching the kids two days ago. We aren’t super close and her daughter and my oldest were in preschool together, but have only seen each other a handful of times since. Thankfully my kids are ok with it. We’ll put the older brother on the couch and the 7 year old girl on the floor of the girls’ room.
I’m no help, never had a wood deck to deal with. My dad was fond of pouring concrete everywhere.
Got delayed talking to neighbor. On my way now. No jalapeños for me.
i recommend more pictures of topless wimmens.

Come to think of it, I think it was Thompson’s Wood Protector (not sealer). We had a 1400sqft deck built. The guy was an artist with wood. Had us water if daily for about 2 weeks while the wood did whatever it does. He told us what to use and to apply it yearly. We used a bug sprayer to apply it and then went over it with paint rollers on long handles (like mops).

If you’re not real close, you can get by with making an appearance to drop off a gift or money and then leaving to go on your own way.
Made a new dessert after dinner tonight. Rummy Raisin Drizzle. Raisins, rum, butter, brown sugar, heavy cream. Cook and drizzle over pound cake or ice cream. Pretty good.
Take the raisins out and that sounds pretty darn good. What did you put it on?
g’night.
Gnite. Gonna go clean out the closet some in a bit. Need more hangers.
Pound cake and ice cream.
Put it on Sara Lee pound cake. (And did more than drizzle /snicker.)
Edit: The recipe also said it could be put on poached pears. I doooon’t think so.
