its a stain so shaking is fine. I always stir just get the resin off the bottom before I shake it. With Red Mahogany, it is a tiny bit harder to get the red to stay on pine ( Red Mahogany usually need 2 coats. Let dry and not wipe all of it off). Pine just does not suck up stain too well. What are you actually going to stain? Usually a open or semi open grain wood will take stain better.
Sand your piece of pine with a 80, then 100 and work your way down to 150. Re-stain it again. Another way is to stain the raw wood once or twice. Tint your top coat with a reddish brown color to bring out a little more color but still able to see the grain.
There are other ways to do this. Try it first then fire away with more questions.
