Sealing hardwood for use as a bar rail.(always wet)
After looking through stacks and stacks of timber at a few timber hards all i can come up with is tassy oak(which was all #### and couldn't be used) or blue ridge stringy bark.
I need to seal it, as it will be used as a bar rail sorta thing where scooners full of beer will be rested on(and spilt all over continuously).
I was vaguely told many different things but was left very confused.
Has anyone had an experience in sealing hardwoods in a wet environment? Atm its some softwood that's got a lacquer on it. Its pealing and looks feral as, im not really keen on having this come back on me every 6 months, but if its gotta be done, its gotta be done right?
Im only asking so much as i also have to do the maintenance on it, so id like to restrict my actual effort invovled on keeping maintained.
Im a big fan of northbox, i use it on almost all of the decks i do unless they beg for merbau(i hate merbau).. But i can't get northbox in the size i want.. 140*45 so all i could find was spotted gum(which was #### in each place), tassy oak(not long enough lengths) and stringy bark.
If anyone has any products or methods they'd recomend for this. Im all ears!
Cheers, nick.
