Here's a method that was sent to me from a member of the oletrucks discussion list. I posted it on the bedwood section of my
Advance Design Web Site .
Get a pint of Pine Tar, usually from farm supply outfits, mix with enough 'turps' (turpentine) to thin out and then add to at least a gallon of Boiled Linseed Oil. Do this when all is warm as in sitting out in the sun for a few hours. Mix and stir well and coat the 'be jabbers' out of the boards. For a different fragrance toss in a bit of diesel or 'kero' (kerosene). Do not let dry out. Keep flooding the wood with the mixture and at night cover well. The Boiled Oil will start to skin over if left exposed to air so I made a 'tub of old boards lined with plastic to hold the mess. After about a week take the boards out drain the excess back into the tub and when all are done save the 'goo' for other like minded jobs. Hint, after saving the 'goo' float a layer of kero or diesel on top to prevent the linseed from drying out.
