Re: Deck
Almost looks like some sort of cedar, but didn't know they made pressure-treated cedar of any kind.
Whatever it is, it's beautiful! Keep sharing...

Re: Deck
Beautiful. Like the contrast of the lighter-colored uprights/spindles with the other deck wood.

Re: Deck
Once the oil stain goes on it will take on some rich tones and the the grains will pop. We are pretty excited to have the whole project completed. Long time dream to have all 3 decks done. Front, side and back.

Re: Deck
Beautiful wood stain, and a great deck, RR. Yes, must be a good feeling to have all three done now.
Not to steal your great thread. If I may, would like to sneak in a couple of photos from the last wood deck I built when we had our KS house. (I can delete this post, if it shouldn't be here). I've built quite a few decks, steps, and picket fence projects for my wife over the years, but this one turned out to be about the best. There was no deck coming off the mud room by the back door of our house (left steps in the first photo), and the existing wood steps didn't have a railing. That made it treacherous up/down in the winter, if any snow and/or ice. So quite early on in our almost 11 years in this home, I added my deck, stairs, and railing. Tried to blend it in with the older look of the house, which was built in 1908. My finish was only a wood sealer....love the look of natural wood, knots, and grains. The folk who bought our home have taken excellent care of it, and chose to paint the deck white. That's okay, because all looks really fine even today.
These two photos were taken in 2014. Met the folks when I visited our former town, and asked if I could take some pics of their beautiful property and house. Got their okay! So I had built the deck you see here in the late 1980s. Nothing to me is as beautiful as wood. I'm so pleased it is still standing proud and strong!
Your finished wood deck looks really fine, RR. If it were mine, I'd definitely get the thumbs hooked on a pair of suspenders and stand pleased & proud beside it. Great job
