I recently milled up some oak and needed a little outdoor walkway for a project. I decided to use the fresh oak for it. 1" thick (well, closer to 7/8") and 5" wide.
The joists are 2"x6" oak.
I understand white oak is better for exterior use, but decided to give this a shot anyway. I think this is pin or bur oak. (I think bur is a white oak....??)
I am curious to see how long it lasts. I'm going to leave it untreated until it's dry, so next year I may add a preservative.
Sorry no pics yet - they are on the way!
