I'm refinishing a small drop leaf table I made for SWMBO to put outdooors.
I tried Minwax Helmsman clear satin which looked great for awhile then it
started to flack off after being in the sun.
Top is cedar and base of hickory. I saw on HGTV someone putting on a
wipe-on oil finish but didn't catch the brand. Anyone had any experience
with such a product? Like to put on something that will last at least a
year outside. We're in the NW with lots of rain but it sits under the patio
roof so gets lots of sun and no rain.
I've researched several products but I really don't trust the advertising,
rather go on someones experience.
Thanks in advance.

I used boiled linseed oil on my adirondack-style chair that sits
outside all summer. Apply early in the season and give it a week to
cure. Reapply every spring.

I am also in the NW and use General Finishes Outdoor Oil. I have the same
comments as above.
General Finishes "Outdoor Oil". Has UV screen, heat stablizers, and
fungicide or anti whatever (keeps that lovely green stuff from growing on
it). Its a penatrationing oil, doesn't build a film, and can be refreshed
when it starts looking a bit dried out. I used it on a set of redwood gates
I built for a client and his only complaint after 2 years was the gates
weren't turning that nice silver color like weathered redwood is supposed
to. They were still beautiful and red like new.
