I have some Railway Sleeper in the garden as a border. These were put a
couple of years ago and have now started to fade. I have been told that I
can't paint them as the oil in the wood would react badly. I would like
to
return them to a darker natural wood shade without risking any harm to the
garden/wildlife. Can anyone suggest the best way to go.

Many Thanks
Pat
