I am slowly renovating some windows and french doors - everything is painted except the cill for the french windows which has been left unfinished. The woodwork is rather overdue for repainting (after about 15 years (!) - the cills are, I am guessing, Iroko (?) and the unfinished cill appears unfazed by being left untreated. It is a bit scruffy and i am sure it will clean up - I am just wondering whether it would benefit from some oil or other finish to maintain it.
Here is a picture of the untouched cill (this is on a first floor in a fairly exposed coastal location and has a balustrade bolted to the cill and surrounding masonry):
and here is an adjacent window cill which will be repainted, but may help to identify the wood):
Does anyone have any views on adding a finish to the french window cill?
Cheers
