I'm often asked for my recommendation of a wood sealer to protect exterior natural finished wood... or to enrich the look of interior pine ceiling joists.



I don't often use a sealer on the log cabins I build but when I do this is my first choice... It is simple and inexpensive to make... without a lot of unnecessary toxins... It is very similar to what the National Park Service uses on many of their structures. (BTW.. I don't use this to finish fine furniture or floors... that's a whole 'nother topic!)


Please note that just about everything I know about using this sealer is contained within the video. If you have a question about a specific application, the best thing to do is experiment in a little noticeable area to see how things look and come out.



Adding finish to a piece of wood, depending on exposure to the elements, means that you will eventually be adding a new applications of a finish at some point to keep things looking fresh. No finish, except that which nature provides, lasts forever.
