Rather than corrupt another thread, I thought that I would start a new one.
I am going to be building a chestnut outdoor table. The fixings can be brass or stainless, but it will have forged steel legs, and steel channel inset into the underside. I haven't used chestnut before but I believe that it is high in tannin.
What can I do to prevent staining, will painting every part of the channel (including bolt/screw holes) be sufficient? In theory it should be dry when complete because it will be under the table top.
for the legs, will a stainless washer work between the steel and the wood- using the stainless or brass fixing.
how were oak church doors protected, back in history?
