Wood is a natural material that undergoes a gradual aging process due to various environmental factors. This natural weathering process can actually enhance the character and beauty of the wood, but if you want to maintain the original color and appearance of the wood, you can treat it with a wood oil, stain, paint, or varnish. These treatments can also provide protection against moisture, UV radiation, and other environmental factors that can cause deterioration or damage to the wood.
It is important to note that the timing of the treatment is critical to ensure the best results. We recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after assembly before applying any treatment to allow the wood to acclimate and stabilize. This can help prevent problems such as cracking, splitting, or peeling of the finish.
In addition, stains and weathering can be treated with an oxalic acid-based stain remover. This type of solution can be used to remove green deposits or prevent greying of the wood, which can occur due to exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when using any type of wood treatment or stain remover to ensure the best results and avoid damage to the wood.
