What type of color are you going for? Pine is a soft wood and can take stain unevenly. May want to try a wood conditioner first and that allows a more even distribution of the stain. Test pieces are critical. That looks like a Rawcabs shell. If so, I'd ask Reggie to send some pieces to test on.

I was thinking of tru-oil or minwax tung oil - just darken it a little
