Recycled Deck

basswood | Posted in General Discussion on

Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours turning old deck joists (from a deck I tore out last summer) into a picnic table.

Any suggestions for a finish suitable for this use?

    Nice job Bass.

    PT I'm assuming?

    I'd prolly be lookin' to paint it. Seal in the toxins, and hide the discoloration.

      Ten year-old CCA. Besides the dis-coloration you noted, the wood is in very nice shape.The deck it came from was about 800 s.f. so I have piles of the stuff.Thanks for the good word.

    Nice use of materials.  I'd go with "State Park Green" floor enamel.

      That "State Park Green" does sound nice. Thanks.
