How do I Care for Eucalyptus Oil Sealer on Outdoor Furniture?

Eucalyptus is the fastest growing and is an environmentally friendly dense hardwood. Like other hardwoods, it requires proper maintenance to keep it looking new. Hardwood is a natural living fiber that over time lightens in sunlight and weathers to a light silver color if left unprotected from the elements. Furniture made from eucalyptus wood has straight, light wood grain similar to teak with pinkish-brown tones.
