Plain pine boards? I built mine out of treated lumber (not the new kind) and it seemed to warp a bit after a few years of sitting in the sun. I'd suggest some type of weather proofing for the specific type of wood you built it out of. Nothing at all done to mine and it should last another 10 to 15 years as it is if not longer.

No it’s pressure treated AC2 green . It will be in weather unless I can talk someone into putting a shelter over it.

Used tractor oil mixed with some diesel works good!

It's not bad, the wood absorbs it pretty good; like mentioned I would do it after deer season when everyone is done shooting.

Let it dry out for a season before doing anything to it, it's completely saturated with water right now.
