Ted, it looks like the original plan has chanbged, as the customer and I are now discussing options for a coating. They have used some Tung Oil on some sample boards, and liked the end result. I've recommend that they consider using Land Ark Original finish for the initial coating, and will be sending them a sample board early next week. Land Ark Original is a tung oil based finish that is optimized for use on green timbers. Presuming that they approve it, I'll be coating the beams in another week or so.
