Well its off to woodcraft I go. I am going to try some Spar Urethane. I
thing my mother can give it a wipe now and then

Visit Mom each spring and sand the finish lightly with 220 or coarse
Scotchbrite and apply a fresh coating of whichever marine urethane you
choose. It will look good indefinitely.
