Ok, bought the 'Harrogate' Roble bench from B&Q.
Had it out in the garden exposed to the elements for a couple of weeks (still to get the liquid wax treatment)
Weather wise we have had a bit of a downpour or 2 over the last few days.
The bench now looks like it has the pox! Horrible little black spots all over it which seem to be ingrained into the wood. Bench is dried out but the spots remain and rubbing with a damp cloth doesn't help.
Is this normal?
Should I take the bench back? Would the liquid wax help?
Any help appreciated folks
