Best finish for T&G pine paneling?
 

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

Orange shellac will give a slight amber tone. Even though you don't
want to stain, honey pine stain gives a very warm look. But you may need
to condition the pine, or it will become blotchy due to the way pine
accepts stain. Mark

Time will give a nice rich tone. I'd use shellac. You can get amber
shelac if you'd prefer.

shellac

I finish pine all the time. Try mixing oil based poly with mineral
spirits--50 -50 . Its easy to put on and wont "sag" on you becouse it
tends to soak into the wood. Water based poly will be clearer--oil
based will leave a slightly yellow tinge.
