I've got a pine table that I was using as a desk for work which was perfect - it's now been put to use as the kitchen table but water and heat seem to be ruining the "rustic" look and leaving rings.. I can probably get some more stain and get it back to how it was but how do I seal it properly so I don't have to worry about the stain being pulled back out?
I'm guessing some kind of satin varnish? Is that possible over a stained pine in this application?
Paint it white call it vintage put £200.oo on the price and a yoghurt knitting hipster will buy it .
Osmo top oil gives a satin finish that will turn mat with time.
would oil stop things like water marks or the stain being pulled up though?
Varnish is good. Never put it on neat though. 50/50 with turps substitute (if oil based) or let it down with water, if water based.
Give it about 6 to 10 coats if you want it to last.
Wire wool it between every few coats and after the final coat. Wipe dust away after you've wire wooled it with a damp cloth.
Matt varnish often looks better than gloss or satin.

Does it have to be a particular flavour or brand?

I've got my oak worktops finished in osmo top oil. It's very water resistant.
I got some Rustin's Danish oil for some oak worktops and Mrs BigJohn went and slathered it over every piece of wood furniture in the house and garden.
With good effect. Recommended.
Tung oil for surfaces that do food prep.

I've used this with excellent results on everything from the mantelpiece to the kitchen table & chairs to the external garage side door. Really nice finish if rubbed on/in with a cloth rather than painted on.
Osmo oil is excellent.
Above all though, and a bit old school, look after your woodwork. Don't put hot cups etc directly on polished surfaces. Get some coasters 😉
