I used to work for a lady who had her entire office in pickled pine furniture. She had great taste, and it was really well done; so, thinking you can find a great selection from America on the net of pickled pine furniture, I dug into the computer and, surprisingly, am ultimately not finding all that much. It seems as if pickled pine is really a whitewash finish that many must do themselves on bare pine wood. True? Or not?
Is there some American company that anyone knows of from first-hand purchase or experience that specializes in pickled pine furniture? It appears many of the companies are either in England or Canada on the net.
The only conclusion I can seem to come to is that this pickled pine furniture is not a popular type in America as it seems pretty hard to find a good selection of it. So, does anyone know about pickled pine furniture here?
And, since this is basically made of pine, is it very hardy? I've always thought of pine as the poor man's wood, but maybe I'm wrong.
