I have been using Iron (ferrous) Sulphate. on a couple of home projects lately. it is ridiculously cheap. Supposedly it is a wood preserver. It isnt harmful to the environment and isnt toxic. i was wondering what peoples thoughts are on using it on old wood features to help keep them from rotting?

because im not sure if there are any side effects to it. for one it turns new wood grey (antique).. I am deferring to the collective wisdom before i try it.....

but if it does work it would be so easy to go out and treat old features with it.

It's water soluble and crystalline so I wouldn't trust its preservative properties

So many other preservers on the market anyway, my dad used Cuprinol a lot when he was doing joining work. Also used to use creosote but increasingly in the UK people are complaining about the toxicity of such a solution.

IIRC a popular method is to tar stuff. This employs the same logic as creosote anyway since creosote is a bi product of tar production. You can pick up a brand name bottle of wood preservative such as Cuprinol for very cheap anyway, if you're going to do a job do it properly.
