I have been helping a friend build a small book case out of borg white common pine. The book case will be in a log cabin so he wanted the light wood look with knots. The logs are from up north and look a little yellow or golden so I'm looking to try and get the book cases started to that old look pine gets with age. My first thought was a sander sealer.
I don't want to use any stains(blots) so I have tried some different polyurethanes and even a wipe on tung oil which is not to bad but have never used it before on pine.
Other treads mentioned Zinsser Sealcoat to get that look.
Any other suggestions or things I should look out for. Thanks
