Can anyone tell me if it is neccessary to put knotting on new wood before staining? I have learnt from experience that you have to do it before painting but if it's not essential before applying stain it will be one job less in amongst a mountain of things that I have to do !!Honestly.....I love this house but I am beginning to think that I must be insane to be doing this alone !!

Been there ,done it. I would suggest using wood conditioner before you stain, other wise the stain will not take uniformly. It will leave dark blotches in places, especially around the knots. Have fun and good luck. Its not only cheaper to do it yourself, but rewarding!

Wow, that is what I want to do and have been looking at property over there for some time now. If you have any questions about other aspects of your renovations e-mail me and I would be glad to help.
You really don't have to treat the knots before you stain if the wood is old. I would definitely seal the wood after you stain it, however, because knots left untreated can cause cracks in the wood.
Good luck on your project.

You only need to treat the knots before staining if the wood is new, because it may still be bleeding resin for some time.

No you don't need to apply knotting solution if you are using wood stain. Only when painting
