Personally, I like the natural look of the wood. Nice work on that ceiling! 👍👍

Great project! I wouldn’t paint the planks but rather throw a white wash stain on them. Really enjoyed this video.

And the equipment. Having said that, you are a pleasure to watch and learn from.

looks nice the way it is... country looking. Great job!

Just finishing a room for our Grandson with pine ceiling, two Eastern Cedar walls and the other two walls with regular wall board for added character. On the wood we finished with Poly urethane Satan finished and looks spectacular. Cedar was from our farm that we did also mill as ship lap ourselves. The brothers of my grandson now what their own rooms like that so I guess I will be busy. Time to sharpen the chain saw...LOL

I would leave it natural as it makes the room feel cozy!

Stain with a darker stain then trim with bright white to make it pop I did that in a bathroom remodel a few years ago and painted walls with wedge wood blue looked nice

Genial idea.. good video blessings

That looks awesome!

Came out great. I would leave it as is, or stain it. But not paint

Natural Look! NO PAINT

I think painting it a glossy white would look nice.

Stain it, then clear sealer, if they don’t like that, then go back and paint it.

Pine can often go yellow after time.if you want natural look, give it couple of coats of water based Varnish. Will seal the wood, smooth the surface and stop it being a dust trap? If he's having strong colour choice for walls & frames, then continue with paint.

I’ve been thinking of a way to finish my basement ceiling. It’s already a bit low so I don’t want to use a suspended ceiling grid system. I like this idea but I would like the flexibility to remove some pieces if I need access to plumbing. It would be a shame to paint that nice birch. Maybe some sort of clear finish would look nice.

Looks like making hard work of it to me. Think I’d have just used a router to put fake joints in the full sheets (if that makes sense) Just my opinion tho 😊. End result looks good tho 👍🏻

Natural or darker! :)

I'm going to do this type of ceiling in my garage, but I'll use thinner plywood and I'm not going to cut those notches because it's only a garage.

My suggestion is to paint it ceiling white to brighten up the room, you can always soften the lighting with the light source😁🛫

Whew! Lots of labor there.

☺👍👍👍👌❤

I would be straining it will be better

Paint would be a travesty ! Maybe a light stain and then varnish it !!

How can I contact you ... to send a picture & ask a question??

Oak stain or varnish
