MarkN1975 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 When working with reclaimed barn wood for an outdoor project... (In this case a large business sign) do I apply a finish or not? I'm worried that leaving it bare might risk the sign cracking, warping etc over time. However, any finish I use to protect the wood from the Caligornia sun (in this case) will ruin the look...

Woodenskye Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Posting a picture of the project may help with the responses, but there has to be a finish like a marine varnish that won't affect the color that much. I am going to guess the wood isn't something that is good for outdoors, where it weathers like cedar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
