I Have Almost Completed A Small T. V Stand In White Pine
And Need Some Help On The Finish. I Would Like To Keep The
Creamy White Appearance And Would Like To Prevent Future
Yellowing.

I use a sanding sealer followed by semi gloss lacquer. Any pine will eventually begin to yellow, a white pickling (mineral spirits and white paint) brushed on and wiped off will help a lot. Here is the sealer/lacquer finish on a couple of pieces I did recently.

guess the pictures didn't make it .I'll try again. I give up they won't load so sorry but try the sealer/lacquer and pickling on some scrap and see how you like it

Phil, you could link to the other post where you uploaded that picture, if you can't get it to up-load again. (If you don't want to put it in the gallery)

I suspect the file size is too big. Need to lower the resolution of the pic. My wife's camera is 5.1 megapixel and I have to modify them to get them to load as the camera doesn't give you the option to change the resolution.

Turpentine is made of pine, which is hard on a finsh. To get around this it must be good and dry and sealed with sanding sealer. Then you can top it off with whatever you like, perhaps a milk white glaze and lacquer or a good clear high gloss poly.

Overtime it will yellow, but the glaze should essen the yellowing effect.

Turpentine Tur"pen*tine (t^ur"pe^n*timacn), n. F.
t'er'ebenthine, OF. also turbentine; cf. Pr. terebentina,
terbentina, It. terebentina, trementina; fr. L. terebinthinus
of the turpentine tree, from terebinthus the turpentine tree.
Gr. tere`binqos, te`rminqos. See Terebinth.
A semifluid or fluid oleoresin, primarily the exudation of
the terebinth, or turpentine, tree (Pistacia Terebinthus),
a native of the Mediterranean region. It is also obtained
from many coniferous trees, especially species of pine,
larch, and fir. - 1913 Webster

Here's a link to the glaze I use, I also use it as toner, it's good stuff!

Hope this helps somewhat ?
