I really like Olympic Maximum Cedar Tinted Oil Finish on cedar.

This guy sells 100's of pieces a year finished with it with excellent

The finish is very easily renewed. If it's not stocked, almost any
paint store can get it.

Thanks for this and thanks also to PDQ. I have read the glowing reports of
Olympic on the Baldwin web site and I am going out to buy some today.
