Like APS, I have punched the nails through with a pin punch to remove old pine boards. In my case, i was able to replace the boards with some from another area of the house where we had also removed boards but did not need them again. Maybe there is a place where you can remove some older boards and use them in the more visible sections and then stain newer wood for installation in less obvious spots. Using a small pin punch drives the nails into the 2X4's in he wall framing and leaves no mess. If it is young and groove, you can remove the nails in a few boards and then bow them out in the middle...they will come out. I have even retailed in he old holes.
