soft pine does dent easily...
but when we call it "patina" that makes it OK! I'm going to need to do sanding & refinishing of son's pine kitchen, it does shows the effects of use since 1955.
I realize that I mis-spoke, it is shellac that was made ffrom beetle shells - duh! - it appears that both varnish and shellac will darken. We put knotty pine walls and ceilings in the kitchen and MBR of our camp in VT, and now wish we'd used varnish or shellac so that it WOULD darken some, it looks too light to me, but it didn't occur to use anything other than poly.
Am hoping to get the Chambers copper cooktop hooked up this spring, we need gas there because electric service is pretty unreliable. Once it went out for 3 days and all the neighbors were at our place in the mornings for coffee!
