stain it

 

I really hope you dont mean that!!!!! Treat it maybe?

 

You can use oak outside green, even for outdoor funiture, and as it never rots you dont need to treat it- that is to say the heartwood doesnt rot.:001_smile:

Looking lovely there ace....Dont you mill your own sticks ? Whenever i mill softwood i always make a few for stock, that way you never/ rarely run out.

yeah we do when we are stacking stuff in our yard, but on this job the owner sorted them out for us, saves us some work :thumbup1:

A little bit big for kilning, but for air drying I use used tree stakes from failed planting. Some of my work is taking out the tubes and stakes of failed trees, so I'm left with a stack of literally thousands of perfectly air dried, inch square stickers. Might be worth speaking to anyone you know locally who has recently planted trees - they usually skip or burn them so will be more than happy to get rid of them!
