Danish Oil, Varnish or Untreated
To keep your sign looking young we apply 3 coats of Danish oil to protect against the weather. This also helps to prevent cracking and movement in the wood. To maintain the sign rub over another coat of Danish Oil, a minimum of three times a year. In exposed situations or if the wood starts to look dry, give it extra coats. It is very easy to do and only takes a couples of minutes. We can supply you with Danish Oil if you are unable to obtain it locally.

If prefered we can varnish the sign. However this does not last forever and will need rubbing down and re-varnishing as necessary.

If left untreated oak will gradually darken until almost black. We have occassionally been asked to leave a sign for an old and weathered look. Once the desired effect is achieved you can then protect with Danish Oil. This does run a risk of a few cracks appearing or the wood moving, but even untreated, oak takes a very long time to rot.
