Question about people using too much stain on pine

I see so many folks at the flea market slapping on a thick coat of Minwax Provincial on raw pine, which just makes it look muddy and hides the grain, when a 50/50 mix with mineral spirits and a quick wipe gives you that perfect, clear golden color.

Try thinning it with mineral spirits first.
