hey all.
got some rafters up this week and most of the porch beams and joists up as well. here's a pic of the progress.
i got a question about my exterior door. we've ordered a mission series hemlock door from jeldwen and i wanted to run my ideas by you regarding the finish.
i plan on using a spar varnish for the finish, but my question is. can i oil it with either blo or tung oil before the varnish? i've done this before on other projects, and had good results, but these were minor exposure projects, and NOT my front door. :) do you all have any other suggestions for any other marine varnishes that you've used with good results? keep in mind that this is a south facing door but it's got 8 ft of porch protecting it a little.
thanx all!
