I’m using food sage mineral oil to handle the sealing, though I plan on getting some pure Tung oil at some point to take over that job, I’ve seen some videos where it seems to resist temperature better.
And honestly I think these pieces were from when I built the rack for my gas cans, but it really could’ve been anything lol. I tend to hold on to any piece 2ft or longer lol.
I have never heard of…Meranti, was it?
meranti is more common in SEA, and on janka rating maybe similar hardness to teak and cedar i think. i'm kinda new to this, I just started with woodwork last year after my home was flooded and it cost 10% the price to build on your own so i decided to go with it and ended up loving it! but its basic stuff really- some kitchen replacements, a garden bench, flipped a chest drawer. your garden deck is gorgeous!! I can't believe you built the whole thing! Following you both for tips and tricks!
