Decide if you want it preserved or if you want a surface coating

Thanks. *Yes, as I said (implied) below, it's preservative I'm after. *
In my experience preservatives also look good, if you choose the right
one, but the choice these days (as with everything) is so wide as to
render me helpless, like a rabbit in the headlights. * Maybe I'll just
go for creosote sub.

Some of the preservatives I've used in recent years have been
disappointing, not really soaking into the wood, and instead forming a
friable skin which eventually starts to peel off.
