Hello,
I'm raising an old live edge pine slab from the dead. Its kind of cool because its 28" wide. The owners of the slab had previously put this thing through the ringer, including a stint on a covered outside porch with clay pots for legs. It was stained with all sorts of things. An interior designer friend of mine convinced them it could be salvaged and brought inside, with more suitable legs added. I've worked with a lot of woods but never have worked with pine for furniture.
Anyway, I've since taken the cupping out of the slab and am about to take off the milling marks. The client has asked for nothing other than a simple wax finish and want nothing other than that. Is there anything I need to know prior to waxing this? I have a mineral oil/beeswax finish that I've used with success on other things. Would a sealer be recommended first?
Thanks in advance.
William
