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.

You can get amber shelac if you'd prefer. -- Ed http://pages.cthome.net/edhome |

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. |
