Just western red cedar and boiled inseed oil. Once the surface pores of the wood are saturated it preserves the wood, seals out rain, keeps the woo yellow - no graying - and is totally non- toxic. A tiny bit more labor than petrodeathchemicalspray but quite worth it. Yup. Just western red cedar and boiled inseed oil.

This is the only treatment we used. Apparently, we need to reapply the linseed oil every year for the next couple of years, and then we can go to a more semi-annual maintenance schedule. It's pretty cool to use a sealant that is completely non-toxic! I'll see if Brooks has any more info. Thanks for stopping by! Yes, exactly that: boiled linseed oil on cedar.

My husband & I are trying to decide if linseed oil is the way to go on our new 6ft fence which also has old graying cedar intertwined. IT looks like I can see the before & after in your photo here, but wanted to know if that's the only treatment you used & if (I live in pdx also) it will stand up against the rain well? Thanks! Kym Hi there,
