Finishing a Hammock Stand

I made a beefy, douglas fir hammock stand that could support an
elephant. I've sanded it, and it's ready for finish.

I'm looking for suggestions as to the type of finish and how to apply
it (I'm a beginning WWer and total novice finisher).

Thanks!
Jamie

Consider using exterior Penofin in the shade you find pleasing. The
stores that carry it should also have some wood samples are already stained
/ finished so you can get a feel for what your project will look like. Just
follow the directions.

Good Luck.

Use almost any Sikkens deck product you can find. It will stand up to
outdoor use, it's popular with sign painter types at ski resorts.

Pitiful attempt to get a reply to my sad, old, lonely thread.

Suggestions anyone? (At least tell me to get bent, so I know the post
went through. :)

Thanks (again),
Jamie
