We'll be installing Knotty Pine T&G paneling in our house soon, and I'm
wondering what the best finish to put on the pine walls would be? We just
want a clear finish, or something that gives a slight amber tone to the
pine. I don't want to stain the pine or cover up it's natural appearance,
and I don't want a finish that will make the pine look "splotchy". The
finish should not be "sticky" or require regular maintenance.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Anthony
