You can get wood oil mate.You can get it from any focus/B&Q just ask them what you want it for etc. All you do is brush it on and its soaks in. I would give it 2 coats. Will change the colour very slightly but its the best your going to get tbh.

I had some trouble today at B&Q...i approached a employee and asked him about building a patio,he replied 'do you want decking' so i knocked him out before he got a punch in.
