I always put a Z on the doors I build too. I can't explain why though, it must be the latent Amish tendencies I have. "My life is better than your vacation"

Hem, oak, hem,, one foot centers, Twenty years later I got the job of removing this building. The joists in the center of the room that were oil soaked were rotten. The ones not soaked were reclaimed and still in use today. I did not google search this. I do remember OLD Chiltons books saying of toxins in used oil. Nice tractor set up.

I usually start with 5 quarts (an oil change's worth) and cut with kerosene until its as thin as I want it. Kind of depends on the application. Usually pretty thin. I would say about equal parts. I've had some frustrating days building this cabin, it's from logs I cut myself. This would probably make it easier for me to burn the whole thing down the next time it gives me fits. I have log oil left over from preserving the logs that I intended on using on the door but your idea intrigued me. I'm going to try it. How long does it take for the odor to dissipate? Doesn't matter, I'm going to try it. Did you try it a bit? How'd you like the color and look?
