One of the most common mistakes I see in exterior wood projects isn’t the wood itself — it’s the finish.

Too often, wood is installed raw and finished on-site after exposure to sun, moisture, and jobsite conditions. That shortcut leads to uneven protection and premature failure.

Prefinishing changes everything.

Cutek Extreme is one of the few penetrating oil systems I trust because it doesn’t just coat the surface — it saturates the wood fibers. This means protection from the inside out, rather than relying on a film that can crack or peel.

When wood is prefinished properly:

• All sides are sealed evenly
• Moisture intrusion is dramatically reduced
• Longevity increases significantly
• Maintenance becomes simpler and more predictable

Cutek Extreme also allows the wood to naturally silver over time if desired, without sacrificing protection. For clients who want control over aging while preserving performance, it’s an excellent solution.

Prefinishing isn’t an upgrade — it’s a responsibility. And using the right product makes all the difference.
