Hello,

Contractor used some good size wooden beams to span an outside Deck to help
support it.

Wood was the "Outdoor" type, so all O.K. there.

But, the ends where it was trimmed to look good are of course bare.

Is this a potential problem ?

Should I coat them with "something", or just forget about it ?

If so, with what ?
Linseed Oil perhaps, or... ?

Thanks,
Bob
