Did you ruin that bumper by hitting the cypress knee?

Apparently the previous employee drove that van like a God damn Viking.

I drive it smoother than Driving Miss Daisy.

Cypress trees are the devil unless they are in a swamp or on a pond/lake.

Super light a porous wood. Wood that people use to make model airplanes.

Seriously turns into kindling, but it isn't dangerous, just keep it clear of open flames. If I think about it I will post some pics of some stuff in the FBD ones day.

Carve out it some spots to put some tea lights in glass holders. And put it in the backyard. Light when you have family type over.

Well poo, I wanted to cover it in epoxy sealant. It's crazy that it sits perfectly up right and level.
I'm thinking maybe the front porch in the corner?
But I don't know...

You can do that. Need to let it dry out first. Not a lot of experience coating it like that. It will grey, but not rot it that is the worry.

Think the rule is to leave enough unprotected so that it can breathe. Such as the entire bottom.

Had a coworker say, if I coat it, don't coat the bottom.

Guess that's what they were talking about.
