I know some people like the looks of the knots but I don't my husband won't let me paint..he wants the varnish. 6 Comments Peace Painting Co., Inc. Alpharetta, GA Christina , you won't really need shellac unless you want to paint, it just keeps the brown stain of knot holes from bleeding thru paint. I hope that answers your question. Christina H Manteno, IL So what your saying Peace is I've got to live with the knots .....GREAT!!!!!! Peace Painting Co., Inc. Alpharetta, GA Knot good news /-: KMS Woodworks Nederland, CO Sometimes knots can exude oil (sap) that will affect some oil based "varnish". This is normally more common with "cedar". What type of wood is this and what finish does your hubby want to use? Christina H Manteno, IL its just a standard wood from Mendards..it's usually wrapped in plastic..I really don't know what the name of its called KMS Woodworks Nederland, CO can you post a pic?
