Part 2 - Protective oil on wood plannks

Target to apply a layer of protective oil - to protect it against the elements and provide a layer of water protection to the wood.

Raw form of the wood after sanding.  Can see the wood grains visible giving it texture

Applying a coat of wood oil on the wood planks. The wood darkens slightly on the application of the oil.  Application of the oil was very fast - took less than 15 minutes to complete.

The wood grains can still be seen after the application of the oil.  Can see the contrast oil and non-oil application areas.

Took around 2 hours for the wood to be fully cured with the oil.  And the final product looks like ....

Realised don't really need to spend much money to re-use existing stuff around the house to breath new life into the items.

Errr .... I initially didn't own one but thought it would be a worthwhile investment considering I was going to do some woodwork (It was!! Paid for itself multiple times over with the work done)

Didn't know how to use it at first well when I first bought it but thanks to 2 teachers - Experience and YouTube - haven't injure myself yet so far.
