Oak framed finishing & treatments

Oak does weather and changes from a bright finish (shown above) to a darker silvery grey (shown right) and possibly black especially closer to the ground after a number of years outside.

Externally if there are no critical joints between air-dried and/or kiln-dried and green oak; such as glazing then you can leave it to weather. For instance garages can usually be left to weather..If glazing and secondary timber covering the main green oak frame is used then either on-going oiling (with UV filters) is required or a breathable wood treatment is recommended.
