I found an antique snatch block and the wood has rotted away . but all the metal only has surface rust .I got metal cleaned up and painted . now for the wood I got it all cut and fitted to the steel . now what is the best wood preserver to keep it from damaging the wood again. I tried thompsom water seal . but I dont know it that will soak into the wood.

Yea thompson is good and it will soak in, also you should put a coat of arcrilic varnish on it for long lasting durability and shine, i use it on my wood tacle on a sailboat.

First what is a SNATCH BLOCK? Second. Behr weatherproofing.
Must be reapplied according to instructions on the can. Especially good for dry climates.

Thompson is ok but to be honest it don't last long.
diesel fuel and oil mixture is best. drop wood in-- metal even
and let sit for a couple days. best treatment you can due. also perfect for your handles on axes-hoes-shovels-hammers-any wood you want to protect---not decks!

Dixie, you have a dirty mind. A Snatch block isn't what you think it is. It is a big pulley.
Thompson's should be OK.
