Default Wooden Blocks

Hey Gaz, or anyone else who uses or likes wooden blocks.

How do you care for and maintain the wood?


Same as any other wood.

Varnish if it's pretty, oil if you don't like to varnish, or
Sears Weatherbeater is you don't like constantly varnishing
or oiling & don't care about showing wood grain.


I painted some wood blocks and it destroyed them from the inside out
due to water trapped inside. Rotted the wood around the sheeves.


???

Are you sure it was the paint which caused this problem?


What is your opinion?


I like the look of modern hi-tech blocks, myself.
