RE: Things are Heating Up!

It may be surprising but usually the wood is not treated at all, there is really no need for that. When you heat the sauna and it gets moist from the steam, that is only for a little while and it’s recommened to throw in one more piece of firewood in the end to make sure the heat dries out the sauna. The panels are actually extremely dry, they weigh nothing, and to my knowledge these were put in 2004 and the sauna has been used probably about twice a week.

That surprises me, normally the wood darkens, it must be the type of wood; thanks for your time.
Oh it does darken for sure, which you can see as there is different shades of panels. New spruce or pine (not sure which these are) is pale but turns into a warm orange with time. Of course if you want it to stay more neutral colour then you need to add some sort of white wax maybe.
