Hello all;

We've just installed an entire wall of kitchen cabinets in knotty pine
(couldn't find any other type of pine, and hardwood prices are out of
this world).

When you look at it from the corner of your eye, it feels like the wall
is covered with a giant leopard skin. NOT the look we were after.

Is there a way to mask SOME of the knots before we varnish the whole
thing in natural or honey-pine finish?

Thanks.

That's why they call it KNOTTY pine.
WTF did you use knotty pine for if it's knot what you wanted.
I understand not being able to readily find other material locally
but you could have oredred it from SOMEWHERE.
Didn't you look at it before it was installed?
