A neighbor has outdoor sculpture (an owl) carved from a tree trunk left at just the right height for the purpose when the tree was felled. It's several years old and well maintained. It's time to apply a next coat of preservative. We don't know what preservative was used last time.

Recommendations, please.

  • Have you tried a search using the word preservative? It brings up many of the past threads with relevant info. – Graphus Sep 19 '19 at 7:20
  • @Graphus No, I should have. I did look for a preservative tag. I thought the two word combination in the title would trigger suggested answers. Search now found woodworking.stackexchange.com/questions/4139/… which will probably do. More specific help with this still-on-the-trunk object would be helpful but probably doesn't matter much. – Ethan Bolker Sep 19 '19 at 12:31
  • Yeah standing dead trees or sawn lumber makes pretty much no difference as far as this goes. – Graphus Sep 19 '19 at 17:02
  • @Graphus Thanks, Post as an answer and I'll accept it so the question doesn't stay on the unanswered queue. Or I can just delete. – Ethan Bolker Sep 19 '19 at 18:18

Thanks to @Graphus (see comments) I found my answer on this site at Ideal outdoor preservative for a wooden ornament

Answering here so the question comes off the unanswered queue and no longer attracts attention.
