Finish for scrolled name, please?
I have scrolled a name about 25mm high from 19mm pine.
I would like to give it a darker finish. Is there a product in which I could immerse the name for a short time, please?

Suggest some type of Dye stain,- or a wood dye. Dip your sign into it, then remove after a few minutes, wipe off excess stain, ( messy, annoying little job ), and allow to dry. also depends on whether your sign is a complicated one with heaps of scroll work in it, or something plan and simple.
*** A Photo would help make it easier to offer advice on, otherwise I am simply stumbling around in the dark !!! ( know what I mean ?? )
'ave a good day, & a happy Easter,

Thanks very much, Roger. You have told me what I need to know.
I'm old and showing a photo is beyond me at present, I'm sorry, but no need now.
I return your good wishes, mate, with many thanks again.

Probably too late now but...
Depending on how dark you wish to make the item, using Danish/Scandinavian Oil is a wipe on/wipe off finish that makes the timber a little darker.
You can also add a tint as required.
