Thanks. I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything for UV protection. I left
some blued pine out in the sun most of last summer and it completely lost
it's color. That's what I'm hoping to avoid since the room I'll be putting
the tables in is pretty bright and sunny.
Thanks,
Lance

No promises, but if they turn out OK, I will. I'm a pretty amateur
woodworker and these are my first pieces of inside furniture that I've
made w/o plans.

I had never heard of blued pine before. I Googled it and it sounds
interesting. I would like to see some stuff made of it. When your table
are done would you post some pics on abpw?
Thanks

Here in BC they're calling it "Denim Pine". Googling that got twice
as many hits as blued pine.

I've used clear shellac or polyurethane with great success. Would guess
that any clear finish would do the job.

Not sure on that point, Lance. The pieces I've done were in 'normally' lit
rooms. Some sunshine but nothing directly on the wood and I had no problems.
Someone else may jump in with more direct info tho.

Marine spar varnish has UV inhibitors in it.
