Quite a few people prefer to get unfinished pine furniture not least as it can be stained virtually any color so will fit any interior decoration you have at your residence. You can have pale pine furniture or dark pine and it looks great. If you are planning to use your pine furniture in the kitchen you must have it properly sealed. Having unsealed wood kitchen counters is a nightmare not only because water may cause the wood to warp but in addition since you promote the development of mold as well as other nasty items that shouldn't be found in a kitchen. Foods can stain the wood as well. If you are going to be using wood in the kitchen make certain it is well sealed and can be frequently cleared. You have to reapply the sealant on a regular basis and don't forget to let it dry overnight before using the furniture.

If you have purchased a kitchen table from the unfinished pine furniture shop, don't be silly enough to seal it with Shellac. You have probably been informed that it is useful to use and it is but it simply doesn't last. It is dissoluble.

On the subject of staining your unfinished pine furniture you must initially work on a piece that people won't see. Then you will have a good way to test your staining method and your skills. Pine is difficult to stain even for the most skilled craftsman and therefore this may not be the best venture to begin with when you are new to DIY. When you start working on your furniture make sure you remove all the hardware like the drawer knobs etc because that will make your work much simpler.
