How is the weathered wood finished?
Some of the wood is left untouched because of its rustic beauty. Most of the wood requires some sanding to remove splinters and to reveal the woodgrain highlights; a sealer with stain is sometimes applied to enhance the woodtones, and the wood is handrubbed with wax to produce a smooth satin finish. A satin polyurethane finish is oftwn used on tabletops for better protection against moisture and use.
