Re: Finishing Bed Wood with oil: Does it last, Let's just see

Depending on the look you want southern yellow pine, fir, or oak...red or white, seem to be tops. If you can find them the recycled old growth barn boards with the tight grain is the best. More work cutting, finish sanding, and fitting but wow. If you dabble in wood working and use a good old fashion hand plane or scraper you don't have to sand it. Looks like a Victorian parlor floor.
