The wood is ash/oak and mahog

stain was onginally used on the
wood and also what kind of finish
should be applied 7 K A., Portland,
Penn
My folks had quite a jew beach wag
ons, as they were called then. To touch them up we used only spar varnish,
no stain. If water has entered the joints and turned the wood black, bleach
it out with oxalic acid.
