Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It is amazing how long wood can last. My Dad took some of the old timbers from our nearly 200 year old cottage when it was being renovated, took them to a lumber yard and had them planed and tehy looked like they had just been cut. He then varnished them and used them for stair railings in the renovated cottage.

From one wood guy to another nice work. Before the varnish it looked like cedar or doug fir, after it looks more like yellow pine. How big were the timbers? What species?

The handrail and spindles on the deck look like wrc but the decking looks like composite. Looks great and lasts but lacks the character of the real stuff imo.

Pretty table sling-shot. Looks better with the varnish. Is mine about finished yet?

Its some sort of fir ,probably hemlock , fairly soft wood and yes the rails were western red cedar and the decking is Azek composite , for this project i think it was a good solution.

I sell a little Azek. Cellular PVC holds up nice easy to install but the wood is really what FLOATS MY BOAT. Second coat looks sweet too. Thanks for posting those pics. You gave me a great idea. Was all that your handiwork? Arbor, handrail, deck etc.
