Hi all,
I’ve been asked to build a set of bifold, barn style oak doors to compliment an extension build at my parents house.
They want the door to somewhat match the other doors in the house so this means Rosehead nails and black ironmongery.
My question is, in oak, how do you go about using traditional nails without them staining the oak?
It’s worth noting, I’m not accustomed to using these types of fixings as this isn’t a project type I’ve tackled before - I’ve not used these nails before and I usually tread lightly should I need to use fixings in oak as I’ve had glue react with screws etc in the past and leave nasty black marks.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks all.
Tom.
