Brazilian Cherry Rocker

I got tired of trying to keep the teak furniture nice ....I just let Mother Nature do her thing....she seems to get her way sooner or latter

Scott....I like those rockers and the finish!

Scott, that is beautiful. I have just made a purchase of a lathe and I am looking forward, by 2010, to be able to do something like this,

Right now I have another problem. My wife has two Red Oak rocking chairs on our front porch and they look awful. I know that they were origionally finished with Polyurethane. The look like they have exposed to all types of elements available.

Obviously she wants them refinished. I don't know where to go from here.

They will remain on the proch and continue to be exposed to the elements. I thought I would use Tung Oil or Linseed Oil but some of my other friends suggested that I use Marine Spar Varnish.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Joe,

I bought these rockers unfinished. I wanted to get some real people advise about what to use to finish these rockers.

I would start a new thread about refinishing your red oak rockers.
