    I've just knocked together a couple of really heavy duty rustic chairs from left over timber from my decking.. Quite pleased with the result so far. They certainly won't blow away.

    They are made from 6*2 tanalised rough timber and reversed decking boards also treated.

    They don't have a beautiful wood to shine through but the boards have a nice knotted pine look. The 6*2s are rough enough but over sanded them well but they will drink whatever I put on them.

    Advice on what to use to "stain them". What I have in the shed without buying is left over ronseal decking stain and red cedar fence life + are these any good or what should I get?

    All advice appreciated. Thanks

    id suggest getting a good clear varnish type or just staining with teak oil.

    nice job you did there. looks good

    I've just put loads of linseed oil on mine because I love the colour, and I'm gonna top it off with Danish oil....
