Why Get Bare Pine Furniture To Decorate Your House
Some people like to purchase unfinished pine furniture not least as it can be stained virtually any color so will fit any decor you have at home. You can have pale pine furniture or dark pine and it looks good. If you are going to use your pine furniture in the kitchen you absolutely need it properly sealed. Having unsealed wood kitchen counters can be a nightmare not just because water can cause the wood to warp but also as you encourage the development of mold and also other nasty items that shouldn’t be found in a kitchen. Foods can stain the wood too. If you are planning to be using wood in the kitchen make sure that it is properly sealed and can be regularly cleared. You will need to reapply the sealant on a regular basis and don’t forget to allow it to dry overnight prior to using the furniture.
If you have bought a kitchen table from the unfinished pine furniture store, don’t be tempted to seal it with Shellac. You may have been told that it is useful to apply and it is but it just doesn’t last. It is dissoluble.
For the purpose of staining the unfinished pine furniture you need to initially work on a piece that people won’t see. Then you will have a good way to test your staining procedure and your abilities. Pine is hard to stain even for the most experienced craftsman which means this may not be the correct project to start with if you are new to DIY. When you do start working on the furniture be sure to remove all the hardware like the drawer knobs and so on because that may make your work much easier.
