You can apply paint, stain, varnish, or lacquer. Ensure the wood is properly prepared and sanded before applying your chosen finish.
How should I store unused stripwood?
Store it in a dry, temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight.
Is this stripwood suitable for load-bearing applications?
While suitable for certain applications, it's generally not recommended for load-bearing purposes without adequate support and structural considerations. Always consult a professional for structural projects.
