linseed oil vs paint
Anyone use linseed oil rather than exterior paint? Any thoughts about which is better?
Re: linseed oil vs paint
Becky,
I have not used linseed oil, I painted all of my boxes except for 2 or 3 cedar boxes that I just left natural and they turned somewhat dark.
Here are a couple of links from Beesource about using linseed oil, there are other threads if you do a search.

Thanks for the input. The links were really helpful. Sounds like paint is the better option.
