I have an 11' reclaimed cabin log beam that I want to finish for a floating wood mantel. The beam is very weathered and gray and has not been touched at all.
I have no idea how to proceed. I am not certain if I want to sand the rough, gray finish down... if so, how to go about doing that... or just clean up the beam and figure out how to seal it in its current form.
I am reading about washing, brushing, sanding, sealing, but there is little information and no specific directions.
I am guessing that beam is pine, but I am not certain of that.
Any advice, guidance or referrals to other resources would be greatly appreciated.
