I find that Danish Oil really works well with white pine. But I might use
some cheap paint or some left over paint since it will allow some vapor
transfer.

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.
