Welcome aboard. I’m a big fan of down west. Having done a little bit of work around Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion

Try using walnut oil before adding any liquids. A good few soakings so it’s all in there. Think of wood like little straws. The oil will fill these straws and prevent the water from getting in and expanding and shrinking the wood.

It can be done with anything with a high carbon content.

I think I paid about £8 for one ten years ago. I wouldn’t buy another.
