What about staining old weathered wood?
Hello,
I'm NOT a woodworking expert, even in my imagination. At the place we rent, there is an old wood swing in the back yard. To the best I can tell, it has never been painted nor stained. It is some years old. The wood is silvered and weathered, and a little cracked and split. What happens if I stain it? Obviously I can't prevent the damage that's already happened. But will it slow future harm -- or is it too late? Also, what's the difference in *color* between staining old wood and staining new wood? That is, if I build something else (yes, at a rental) and use the same stain on it, how will the two pieces look together? Thank you for all answers. Ted Shoemaker |
