Before you read any further its NOT about a car..
feel free to ignore this post now haha
anyways, i need to restore an old garden bench, for my mother, it has great sentimental value to her and i know it would bring her much joy to see it in a useable condition again
its got wooden slats, some hard wood presumably, anyways, over the years, the wood has cracked/broken, and the iron surface has rusted away.
so what wood would you suggest useing? reading online iv come up with oak, or teak. both i dont have a clue where to get. oh and pine, which is available in b&q.
thats the main concern. i can bring metal back to life, i can cut to size ect ect i just need some advice on what wood to use as it will spend all the time outside, probs only get treated once a year if that.
if anyone could help i would be greatly appreciative!
