1 pointOne issue with cypress it has naturals oils in. So on new wood you won't get much penetration of product . You might have to try many to get a handle on what works or sell natural. It's the most fragrant wood to work on . I was restoring a cedar house . Once I got going on it I found the addition was cedar and the original was cypress. The smell was awesome. The cypress section was over 30 years old and still only took 1 gallon per 200 sqft of ready seal.

Water based VS Oil based Stains

GLBrown, Welcome, and please add your signature. House rules. Actually, oils will penetrate deeper that a water based product will, but having said that, there remain when to use what and the question of durability. These are not cookie cutter answers. Beth -

Ideas for finishing rough cut Cypress furniture.

Welcome to TGS. Please fill in your signature. And now that we have that little housekeeping detail out of the way, huge props on the furniture. BEAUTIFUL. Any of the moisturizing oils will work. We have used alot of Armstrong Clark, but we also have clients who insist on Penofin's rosewood oil. Beth
