After building the raised bed garden, I left it in the weather for a few weeks and came back later to finish the timber. Although the timber has been treated to prevent rot and protection from insects, it really hasn't been finished and would eventually crack over time and grey in the weather.

I've chosen to finish it with an external timber stain, oil-based, and am sharing the research, application process, and learnings from this mini task.

After the staining was complete, the timber was pretty much waterproof which stabilizes the timber and prevents it from swelling and drying repetitively. Hopefully, this will last at least three years before I need to reapply.

P/S: Please excuse the horrible audio, the wind was really strong and I need to get a better mic.
