IIRC,
Doesn't Minwax stains state for "interior use". I think the sun will
bleach the colour quickly whatever. Cheers, JG

For exterior applications you should acknowledge that a long lasting
stain/sealer will last you about 2-3 years before needing to reapply.

Don't know if it'll give you the look you want but I'm sold on the Penofin
products. I've used them on a mountain cabin with great results and a few
items of furniture around the yard. They do come in different colors so
you may just find something that works color wise as well.
Cheers,

classic folk recipe:
1 gallon of paint thinner
1 gallon of spar varnish
1 gallon of linseed oil
roofing tar (cold process) to color (about 1 cup)
WHAT is a "Good point."?
