best outdoor finish for bamboo

topic posted Sun, January 7, 2007 - 1:14 PM by  Rustic Rambler
I was wondering what the best outdoor finish for bamboo is? I tried linseed oil, and that lasts a while but is not enough. Would a spar varnish or a wipe-on poly type of finish be good? I'm thinking of making a bridge and want it to last a while. Things that I don't put any finish on and leave outside get splits in less than a year and starts breaking down.
