Green Building Materials What can I treat a green oak log fence with to give it a few more years of life before rotting?

Question by ProudDad23: What can I treat a green oak log fence with to give it a few more years of life before rotting?
I am building this fence along my drive for my wife’s birthday. Whew, tons of work. Cutting the trees down as i go and notching the wood. I am not using any nails to fasten it because i want it to be as rustic as possible. I would just like it to be around for more than a couple of years since i have put so much time and effort into building it. Any suggestions? Thanks
