Hambone: Actually I would go take a picture but it is covered with snow now. Not worried about the bed at all. It does turn it a little bit darker try a test piece for yourself. The hyd oil with thinner makes it soak deeper into the wood for me it doesn't sit on top so the thinning of oil soaks better! I was worried at first that it would be slick but it was not. Greatest thing water does not soak into it. Sun will dry it a little but that is why I plan on doing it about every 3 years. I live in a farming community all the guys do it and after haveing to replace a trailer that had painted floor and it rotted out the new trailer will be taken care of right! If you want it darker put a little bit dark oil penetrating stain with it. Appreciate you using rough sawn oak that is class. Now take care of it! Mixture I used was a qt.of thinner to a gallon of oil!
