Default Re: Best finish for outdoor carvings ?

Hi drums,
You might try posting this down in the Wood finishing & painting section or ask one of the many chainsaw carvers on the board, those guys know whats best. I use several coats of Hellmans Spar Urethane, seems to be working, but I haven't been at this very long. Hope this helps.
Dan
