Cool Finishing Idea


Recommended Posts

Since there are quite a few people making the Adirondack Chair, I thought it would be a good opportunity to road test some outdoor finishes. I'm sure most of us will wind up using different products and of course we all live in different climates. So it would be super duper cool if each of us starts a thread here in the Adirondack Chair forum where we discuss the finish we used and post a picture or two. Then as the seasons/years go by, we can each come back and update our post to reflect the current condition of the finish. What do ya say?

Not to be snide, but moving it indoors is best. If the piece must remain exposed, a good spar varnish, perhaps mixed with a little BLO, will do the job, but prepare to refinish often. A thin mixture that soaks into the pores if the wood, with repeated coats to build a very thin film, is less likely to bubble or peel.
