Give a classic wood retaining wall an entirely new look by adding horizontally set wood siding. For this project in the Diamond Heights neighborhood of San Francisco, the landscape architects first established the tiers and retained the steep slope with walls made of 4-by-6-inch posts of pressure-treated wood set into 5-inch-deep concrete piers with pressure-treated boards bolted to the back. Then they added horizontal 1-by-4-inch cedar boards, stained a rich mahogany color, for a contemporary finishing touch.
Maurer finished the newly bare birch in a medium walnut stain and four coats of tung oil. He says he likes using tung oil versus polyurethane because it stands up well to heat, which is advantageous in the kitchen, and it actually hardens the wood because it penetrates the surface. It will need touching up from time to time, though.
