For the ultimate in a carefree surface, leave the redwood unfinished. The surface will darken somewhat in a few years, and then gradually lighten.

To retain the initial redwood color, use a dull or satin lacquer, or a clear sealer. A number of clear sealers are available, are economical, and are easy to apply.

In areas subject to soiling and moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms, apply lacquer or clear sealer.

For a washable finish, apply a flat or semi-gloss varnish over a sealer.

lf other color hues or tones are desired, penetrating stains are recommended. Any color or hue can be achieved.
