First there’s Shellac varnish, something we’re asked about frequently. But what exactly isShellac? It’s actually a natural resin secreted by an insect called a lac beetle, which lives in Indian and Thai forests. The substance comes exclusively from the female insect and is scraped off the tree branches, processed into dry flakes then mixed with ethanol to create a liquid. The end product has lots of interesting functions; it is used as a food glaze and colouring as well as a wood varnish. Choose a day when the weather isn’t too humid. Varnish will dry slower in humid or cold conditions, and there’s more chance of dust and dirt settling on your project before it’s fully dry, which means you’ll have an imperfect finish.If working indoors, use the heating to get the room temperature somewhere between 20 and 25°C. If the room is too hot, the varnish will dry too fast and messy bubbles might form

Apply stain with a paint brush in the same direction as the grain. Allow the first layer to dry completely (for at least eight hours) before applying a second coat. By factoring in these additional considerations, you can master the art of staining and finishing pine wood. The result will be beautiful and a testament to your attention to detail and craftsmanship.TBH I'd expect at least a 4-5 year service life and 10 certainly seems possible — I've seen older Veluxes, in situ for far longer than just 10 years, that I'm certain had not been refinished but had no obvious degradation of the finish anywhere, in other cases just obvious edge wear from being scraped by the opening rod with the rest looking fine..... from the floor at least.

If you are interested in looking for a product to finish your pine wood, then let me tell you which products are the very best for the task. The product that I personally use is called the Minwax wood finisher. I have been using this product for years now for all kinds of wood, not just pine.Instead of doing nothing or refinishing completely there is a middle-ground option, topping up the finish. This can be done as a means of extending its useful life, and done with care and discretion you could essentially stave off a complete strip and refinish nearly indefinitely (possibly beyond the service life of the window). In general there's absolutely no reason to completely remove finish that is still in good condition. It is appropriate to remove and replace finish that has degraded, and it's something that should be done more on furniture that people care about that they want to keep in good condition 1, but excepting pretty excessive amounts of water exposure and/or UV damage (and most of Blighty just doesn't get that much sun!) I would expect the finish Velux use to hold up better than a couple/few of years, as it appears it has in your case. I don’t have every single oil-based finish in the world.

Gel stain or oil-based paint work great for pine wood, unless it has been pressure-treated. If so, then choose a latex paint finish instead.
