Maggie’s The Wood Shop

Does anyone have a recommendation for a finish for white oak that is weather safe? Easy to apply with only yearly maintenance would be preferred. It will be in shade but exposed to rain for 6 months per year.

Tung oil seems like the best option.

Thank you in advance.
I'm going to give you a completely different suggestion. "Cetol Marine".

It can be used for other woods, such as mahogany and oak, not just teak. (as per second page, top right)

Now, I DO use this stuff, and have had for some years now, on our boat. Granted, it is all teak on the boat, but each year when winterizing we remove more pieces, and then through the winter we refinish them (40+ y/o boat) and each year our boat looks newer and newer. Some here may remember some pictures.

Point being, our wood sits outdoors year round (Canuckistanian Winters....) and all of the wood we've re-done is still wonderful. Pricey stuff, but the ONLY thing to use on teak, and 'on-the-water'.

I'm guessing you're doing whiskey barrels, and outdoor planters type thing. Then yeah, I'd suggest this stuff in a millisecond.

Xero C1 Pro - v3.30 update

More results from today.

Went and shot 1,000 yard practice at Ben Avery this morning with the F-Class guys. Same rifle as last time, chrono placement was on its factory tripod properly spaced.

67/72

I would really like to see how my Garmin would perform if I could revert it back to a previous version. Because I don't think it's my use of the device and I wonder if my unit is defective or if it is indeed just this update.

Help me decide-Vudoo, Anschutz or 457 MTR w/Lilja

I find the B14R bolt clunky, very clunky. I'd go Vudoo/RimX or CZ 457. I have 1 of each. Got rid of the B14R. Vudoo and RimX have modacam barrels, and CZ is up next.

I planned on doing the MCR workup front so I bought the cheapest CZ I could find. If I was looking at cutting costs, the MTR probably is the best shooter out of the box with no mods.

Don't be fooled, conservatives in U.S. are all alone.

Conservatism only works if the left ceases to exist.

It is wholly inadequate in dealing with the left. Franco & the Great Augusto Pinochet understood this and implemented a superior system to deal with the left.
i do fail to see how those who want the "rule of law" can understand what is going on with all of this aggressive pro illegal rulings and out front encouragement of their actions. murders have been let out and repeated same. this is accessory before hand at least. these legislators and judges are a part of "the rule of law". violence is said to not be the answer. i think murder and rape qualify as violence. it's OK if used against white anglos we are told.
i only hope that the left starts it up. per the hx of leftists,they will. that will give our side a green light to respond. actually the open season robbery,Tesla burning,child rapes show that it has started. LE does nothing and are ordered to do nothing. they are also a part of "the rule of law" just like the judges and elected enablers. unfortunately i expect LE and military to try and protect the communist actors.
totally right that Franco had the answer. have known several men who lived in Franco's Spain. they have reported pretty much easy going individual freedom if your weren't a commie. some had lived in Castro's Cuba and Carter's America. they thought they were essentially freer in Spain.

Trump is back…the “Now What” thread

if trump wasn't elected, there would be countless more of these criminals here, and nobody trying to catch them.

To be fair ,Trumps maximum pressure sanctions on Venezuela , fake Huan Guaido president that never won an election , outright theft of Venezuelan rafineries in US. That broke economy that was barely afloat ,was the catalyist that kicked off mass migration from Venezuela including all these gangbangers.

Similary on Iran Trump now basicaly wants a deal much like the one he blew up in his first term when Natanyahu fucked him over , lots of incoherent policies , beaking down shit then using duct tape fixes

On tariffs it looks like he will fold before they really hit hard on US economy
