I've never treated barnwood, but we just got a reclaimed barnwood mantel from a guy who makes them and he said he sands them down & puts a few layers of poly on them. It turned out beautiful!
Tongue and groove oil.. Brianna's poly is a good idea too..poly shines, the oil doesn't!
First--make sure it is dry and insect free BEFORE bringing it NEAR your house. After that, sand, sand, and sand.
You will love what comes out.
I think Renee is asking how to treat the barnwood to make sure it is insect free before moving it into her home. I have no ideas but maybe someone else can tell her how.
