what finish?

[coffenup]

I have a round wooden kitchen table that is no longer needed in the house
I have thought about using it as an outdoor dining set under a shade sail
I have to sand the old finish off was just wondering what type of finish would be best on it? i want to see the timber through the finish

For outdoor use, you have to use the exterior finishing materials.
My favorite for outdoor wood finish is spar varnish.
It is a simple finishing material, easy in application and designed for outdoor.

You can also use the other material such as exterior PU or car paint.


Thanks

Good luck.

Decking oil can also be used. Build up a few coats then polish with some 0000 steel wool. Seen a couple of tables done like that and they look great.
