Steven: I wouldn’t mind a nice amber color, and I have been thinking either a gloss or semi gloss finish. Barney: I was looking into Spar Varnish a little before I posted this. I don’t know too much about but like you said if its good enough for marine applications I’m sure it would be alright for this use. It seems like penetrating the wood first with oil would probably be best to get the pores full. Here are a couple pictures of the truck (green machine). This one is minus a lot of trim/bumpers/running boards that have since been added Here is a picture of the wood after it was milled to size. The bed actually sits on top of the wood bed, this is just the wood laying in the bed with the stainless steel strips to get an idea of the look. |
