Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove old paint from the wood beams? Mine have a lot of white paint marks from previous owners, including areas where it looks like they got ceiling paint on the beam, tried to wipe it off, and just ended up leaving a white smear (example photos attached). I haven\u2019t been brave enough to try fixing this for fear of making the issue worse, but we\u2019re repainting our walls and I\u2019d love to get the beams looking better, too. Also not sure if folks ever apply some sort of wood conditioner or oil to the beams, or if it\u2019s best to leave them in their raw unfinished state?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried looking up resources for maintaining antique pine heart wood, but everything I found online was about flooring and trim. Nothing on gigantic structural beams with a rough surface!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
