Default Wood steps preservation

Probably linseed oil, that was the good ol wood protectant. It spontaneously
combusts if left in piled rags. If the shed caught fire it would have been a
grand sight.




I live in a small town and about 55 years go there was a fire that wiped
out a city block. The buildings were old and many had wood floors and
about 3 stories tall. Those floors probably had many layers of some
kind of oil on them. The buildings were brick on the outside.
