It's quite possible it wasn't stained at all, but was a colored spray finish. A lot of furniture is finished that way.

Subject: [DIY] re: staining pine
Thanks for the reply Jan.
I did put a bit of straight bleach on a test board and it did not do anything to lighten the stain. I have some paint thinner and might try that.
I have googled for information on the laundry softner for sealing pine and can not find aanything. Before I was told that tip, I had more than once been to craft shows or farmer's markets in Wisconsin and loved the look of the wood products. They always looked the same (color) and had the same shade... no streaking, no dark areas... and I am suspecting now that those amish made wood products were sealed with the laundry softner :)
