barrel
Hi Minnie pal If i were you i would put the barrel in a shed or somewhere out of the weather and i would sand it all down and dont be afraid to give it a realy good sanding Then i would paint it with a good wood treatment and preserver and paint the metal bands with hammerite paint a few times also That way its protected inside and out and all over. If you want an aged look use two colours of wood stain and preserve for the final coat and rub them on with a old rag. The hammerite can be bought in a hammered finish which will make it look old and cracked on the metal if thats the style that catches your eye if not then use the plain one I hope this helps a little and ps dont forget to paint inside and underneath also Please post a pic when its all done id love to see it
Kindest Regards
Lolo
