   The water borne finish will be less yellowing, both initially and over time.  You could also use a super blonde shellac that wouldn't change color over time, though it might darken the pine a bit initially (about the same color effect as wetting it with water might have.)

   The pine will still darken over time, becoming more yellow or orange depending on the variety.  This is just part of the way pine ages, not due to the finish.

   Thanks for info.

   Any point of sealing the back side? Using multiple coats on exposed side.  Again, ceiling application of unfinshed pine t&g.

    

   Thanks- Skippy

   In my world, sealing the back side is always a good idea. In your case I would finish the boards before installation, since I think it is a lot easier. If you go that route, you can do a single coat of whatever you're using on the back side, then flip them over right away and proceed with the show side. For subsequent coats, I would only do the show side.********************************************************
