[Alberg30] Wood for Spreaders

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Mike,

There was a thread on this previously. Someone mentioned that the originals
with fir. I made a set from white oak with an epoxy coating. These were
painted white and have been in service for four years.

>paint over the final coats of epoxy to
prevent UV damage to the epoxy.

But what do you use to protect the paint? Sheesh ;-)

How about just using spar varnish (the name should be a clue)? Then you get
to check the grain of the wood for cracks and water intrusion.

BTW I'm betting the original spreaders were spruce as the original poster
intended to use.
