So I’m a little green when it comes to finishing outside of stain and poly, or painting.
Recently I made a bench out of reclaimed mahogany decking and need to apply some type of finish. It’s gonna be under shelter but outdoors in a beach house/salt-air environment.
I’d really like to highlight the beauty of the wood that was underneath after milling, etc. But keep in mind the future owner most likely won’t be keeping up reapplying whatever I choose in the subsequent years. Would something like tung oil be a good choice for a first timer? Go with something simpler like a spar urethane? All opinions welcome.
