I’ve got a new piece of pecky cypress I want to use for a mantel. I’ve already sanded it down, and want to find the right finish for it. There are so many products out there; tung oils, linseed oils, other oils, sealants, arm-r-seal, waterlox, stains, it’s a little overwhelming. What would yall recommend? Bonus points for any pics.
