I just purchased some rustic pine furniture that was imported from
Mexico. I believe the furniture has only been stained. What would be
the best way to protect the finish on this furniture? I like natural
look and really don't want to add any shine to the furniture.
On a small section I applied a small amount of Tung Oil Finish and it
removed some of the stain. It didn't remove a a lot but it is quite
noticeable. Is there something I could use that would keep the same
dull luster while adding some protection to the wood?
I've attached a picture of what the furniture looks like.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Now about your question, there are any number of preservatives on the
market. Get to the BORG and flip a coin. Or try the corner hardware store.
Thompson's Water Seal comes to mind

This is not a binary newsgroup. No attachments, please.

I've been using Briwax brand Rustic Pine. Somehow I received a sample
tube from their website briwax dot com. You might try it on another
inconspicous spot forst. The amount of buffing impacts on the luster.
