I use beeswax (comes in a liquid or more solid form). I got mine from the local MORE store for about three pounds (sorry pound sign not working!). Its comes in three colours :- cream, yellow and brown. You'll probably need same as me (cream), it'll keep the natural colour of the pine. Its best to start with the liquid and apply sparingly at first, like you would Mr Sheen etc. The more solid beeswax is good for doors with dents or scratches and disguises them. I believe B&Q sell it too, though shop around as prices vary wildly!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

This stuff and it is also fantastic for cleaning wood. You put some in a bowl and wet a soft cloth then ring it out and away you go. It is really good. I use it on all sorts of wood including pale oiled oak and it doesn`t change the colour

Another vote for Danish Oil. Apply it with wire wool - grade 00 or 0000. Allow a day between coats - apply at least 6 coats for a water/stain repellant finish.Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

Third vote for Danish Oil. It's what I'm using currently on some new wooden doors.
