I did not know this was a serious problem with white pine.

wighping down pine with terpintine will reduce sploching.
also using a sapp stane treatment before stanning or aplying finish will reduce
bluching almost compleatly

Just remember pine tends to blotch if you get fancy. You can seal it with
shellac and then use a gel stain, but that will cover up the natural grain of
the wood.

Thanks for that info. I was thinking that I might try tung oil, but from what
you say, maybe I can use what ever is left in a can of finish.

I've read that treating the ends of logs with paint is only a mild retardant to
moisture transfer and that the transfer occurs even when the ends are painted.

One more question.
I want to put something on the ends of the pine logs that will not stop
moisture transfer. Something like paint will stop the moisture. I thought
about putting paper bags on each end, that works with turning projects.
