I am building a couple of Adirondack chairs from Redwood. I found
some nice clear Redwood for most of the visible slats, arms etc.
Under-structure is construction grade Redwood. This stuff is hard to
find in Kansas.

I want to preserve the color and not let it gray out. I have googled
and found lots of recommendations for oils including teak oil and
others. So many variations I am about as confused as when I started.
A suitable penetrating oil seems to be the way to go. Do any of you
guys have experience with a similar project? They will be outdoors.

Thanks

Hi Ron,

Im sending this answer on behalf of Best Redwood www.best-redwood.com we manufacture outdoor redwood furniture such as Adirondack chairs, we recommend duckback brand - Super Deck premium oiled based sealants. the 1910 is a transparent sealant that will accentuate the colors of your redwood lumber. If you want it to look as redwood as possible, you can stain it with 1905 heart stain redwood. finally if you want a dark rich color, 1912 mission brown is your best choice. please let us know if this information is helpful. feel free to visit our website at best-redwood.com
