[BCMA] Preserving outdoor wooden artifacts

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello, everyone!

 

Here at the Creston Museum, we have a logging arch that is deteriorating
badly. We want to hold the original wood together and hopefully slow its
future deterioration (unfortunately, the budget is not going to let us build
a roof over it), and I am looking for suggestions as to the best
products/processes to use?

 

I'm including a couple of photos of it - the logging arch as a whole, and a
close-up of one particularly bad bit of deterioration.

 

Thanks so much!

 

Tammy
