Hi folks. I started a thread earlier about options for finishing a beam, but I bungled my question and thought I'd start over...apologies!:B
In the cottage I'm building we will have both an exposed laminated pine beam and an exposed pine pole (an old telegraph pole). Both inside the house and out of the weather.
I'm sensitive to chemicals and want to play it as safe as I can. I know the fact that it is pressure treated pine isn't exactly a good start, but from my experience once it is in place it doesn't tend to cause me too much trouble.
So what should we do to "finish" the pressure treated pine, though? It would be nice if we could stain it a bit darker to remove the green tinge left by the pressure treatment process. Everyone around here stains and then applies polyurethane, but I'd rather not use polyurethane if I can avoid it. What are my options?
Can anyone suggest a low-VOC way that we could a) stain the timber, and b) finish the timber if that is required at all?

Low-VOC finish for pressure treated pine beam?
