The Deck
Well, after the trials and tribulations of the home reno....the deck was finally waterproofed and oiled on the weekend.
All of the bearers that were used were once the bearers on the patio on the house before the reno and were well over 40 years old.
The boards are all reeded jarrah, laid flat side up.
If you can guess the decking oil used 5 greenies will come your way.... take your best shot.
NOTE: Both landseka and Ptrott are exempt from this challenge and any mailing or PM ing of aforesaid parties will void your entry........and a reddie will result.
Pics enclosed.
Cheers

wrong guess
"Wood-man's Timber Finishes" a water based oil from Bunno's.
I dont think this would be correct though as it has a honey color to it. But it is good stuff.

No doubt that it is good stuff, but that isnt the finish. Originally Posted by readnik

Look good Steve, whatever you used.

Maybe i put that wrong!!! I think your job looks great , very uniform . I was taught to stagger the joins , although i see your lengths are all the same so you have many joins . Just the brickwork look is not my cuppa tea...
But you guys are all the experts on here , thats why you all go on about how you make no $on your jobs and i make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ .
