Iroko In The Garden - Should I Treat It?
May 18th, 2008, 4:50pm
 
Hi

Does Iroko need treatment in the Garden - if so what should I use?  I have Hard Wax Oil and also some Danish Oil to hand.

Is hard wax oil rated for outside use? Check the Danish oil as not all makes are. I found out the hard way.

Osmo do a 'primer' for their hard wax oil for use when the timber is going to be in a damp environment, take a look on their web site for details. If you can't find a stockist give me a pm as I've got a couple of cans, unopened, in the w/shop - we might be able to come to an arrangement.

Thank you both very much for your advice.

Nick I am still pondering what to do about another bench project still not resolved which may involve a fair quantity of iroko in the construction - if I proceed in that direction (wood and stel as opposed to just steel) I may get back to you.

Cheers
