I think I would be inclined to go to the hardware store and see what new spray paint type of products might be available to seal/paint that wood. I am not a shelf paperer and I sure wouldnt want to hand paint those tiny holes! Think I'd wait til warmer weather and do it outdoors. What a great find. Have fun filling it up!
