I actually don’t like knotty pine all that much, but give me mahogany and I’m in heaven! I love hand carving with it too; there’s just something so very rich about it… and when you oil it and the grain comes up? Wowww… nothing like it.

Susan — your house sounds like my dream, but I would like it under sunny skies, please.

Dimple — I once had bathroom furnishings painted white and I liked them. Paint isn’t always evil, just rarely my preference.

I love natural wood, and we live in a house now that’s all stone and wood and wrought iron.

But I like painted wood too, as long as it’s folk-art style or ‘distressed’ sort of painted. Not shiny-glossy painted, or too polished, no.

Ah, Melli, just coat the pine in Urethane varnish. I had a TV stand, book case and desk hand made by my FIL all in pine and they held up well for 10 years and then I sold them.

Pine is soft and it has to have a Urethane varnish, but it is lovely.

Kay, my grandfather was a woodworker and he worked primarily with knotty pine since that’s what grew on his property! That’s where I get my preference.

Gel — what’s done is done. Preserve & protect what you have and help nurture the preservation of what’s left.

I like it all…painted, unpainted, waxed, stained, chippy, scuff sanded – it’s a problem
