I'm building a bunkhouse with random-width (6-8-10") t & g knotty pine walls, and a doug fir v-groove ceiling. Does anyone have a suggestion for sealing the pine? I want to keep a natural look -- not shiney, but protect the wood from ambient humidity, uv, kids, etc. Oil? Poly? I'd apprecite any guidance. -Mark S

Mark,
I did my shop walls in 8" t & g pine. I used satin varnish for a finish, two coats. Looks nice, not shiney. I had sherwin williams mix me up some stain just to kind of tone the wood to even out the color difference between the different boards. Some boards were pretty white, while others ranged to a kind of pinkish color. Came out looking honey colored.
