breathable, breathable breathable, is this really so important in a finish? I have a western red cedar home with no finish at all on the inside walls. My problem is that when I use my wood stove for heat, the dry air creates big checks and cracks in the logs. So would’nt it be better to use a finish on the interior that is not so breathable to prevent this problem?
