As the dry weather was ending we dealt with some of the items on the front porch. There are dinner cedar beams that I was worried would need to be painted because they had weather too much. I started sanding them to paint and the wood grain still looked good. After a lot of sanding and some wood cleaner they got way too attractive to just paint over. We got some exterior wood oil and they came out really well. It will take some maintenance, but we love the exposed wood.
