Stockholm | Pine TarsUpdated: September 22nd, 2023
Created: May 31st, 2019July 14th 2022 This tar is much less viscous than the previous one, however it is summer.
Wood tar is produced when making charcoal or burning stumps. . . .The tar dries slowly, taking around 3–4 weeks to achieve a dry surface. During that drying period, the tar has a strong odour that fades over time.

A soaking oil of 1qt. turpentine, 1qt. boiled linseed oil, ½ pint pine tar, and ½ pt Japan dryer is used on some work boats and collection vessels. This mixture has been called "Old Down East Deck Coating" by some people. A variation of this coating for a wood preservative below ground eliminates the Japan dryer, and the other three ingredients are of equal measure by volume.
