Why not use a naturally "weather-proof" wood like cypress? My mom had an outdoor shelf made of pine, I believe, that basically rotted away in a few years. I duplicated it and painted it and it's been outside for well on 15 years now with no sign of degradation. SS screws, T3 and cypress. Now that I think of it I think I used
an exterior adirondack green stain first, but the color was off so I put adirondack green paint over the top.

I was going to say that torrefied anything would be another option,
but it seems to all of a sudden be a fad in the guitar industry and
hard to find in sizes suitable for furniture at reasonable cost--it
used to be cheap.
