OK, my old pine floorboards are freshly sanded and ready for a finishing coat. I'm now ruminating over whether to stain them first (or use colored varnish) - or whether to just use clear varnish.
On the one hand, I don't think you can't improve on the beauty of natural unstained wood, in most cases.
On the other hand, I have had to do a fair bit of filling using wood filler. I reckon that if I used a stain or coloured varnish those fillingss would be less obvious...
Any comments appreciated.
