The adventure continues........I've removed all of the sheet metal from the
body tub and can see that almost all of the wood is a candidate for
replacement. The thought occurred to me that one of the modern wood deck
semi-transparent stains might be a close approximation of what I find on the original
wood. Question(s), is there any reason(s) not to use this chemical? Is there a
better alternative? Thanks as always, Tom, TC2850, disassembled.

That's Cuprenol. Good stuff, but like most consumer level wood
preservatives now on the market it isn't what it used to be. That's bad
for the wood, but good for health and the environment.
Many years ago the preservative of choice was Pentachlorophenol, which was
used in a lot of wood preservative products. Now it's a banned substance
(at least for consumer level wood preservative products) because it causes
brain damage. All the wood in TC 6710's body tub was soaked in the stuff,
as is a lot of the exterior wood in my 200 year old house. I have no idea
how much penta vapor I breathed and how much I absorbed through my skin
while applying the stuff, but I'm guessing it was a lot. It's a handy
excuse when my brain doesn't seem to be working as well as it should.
