Ive been working on this set for my front porch for a while and am finally done. I finished the rocking chairs a while ago and just completed the benches. (2 rockers, 2 benches and a small table) All made of African mahogany, finished with “Penofin Deep Penetrating Oil Treatment for Exotic Hardwood Exterior”. The oil was intended for hardwood decks and furniture. it doesn’t leave it with a shine or glass smooth finish and im debating putting something over the top of it or giving them a real fine sanding and another coat of the oil and see what happens. The porch is covered and I plan to store them through the winter, since they won’t get used in the snow anyway. Im really happy with how they turned out.

Very nice set. If you are looking for a topcoat, I highly recommend Sikkens Cetol1 or Sikkens Cetol Marine. The finish holds up great outside and is easy to refresh if it starts to wear thin.

Very nice outdoor look you’ve made there. I want to say it’s quite Maloofish. I mean that with upmost respect

Thanks everybody, definitely a ton of hours, we have spent a ton of time almost every evening sitting in the rocking chairs looking out at the view. Super confortable and definitely worth the time.
And yes Maloof is kind of my hero
