i built a swing similar to the one below out of some spanish cedar i had left over from my shutters. What should i seal it with to keep it looking nice? it will be hung under an oak tree so will be in a pretty dirty environment.

thanks...

Semco. Its whats used on high-end yachts. Two coats a year and always looks like freshly sanded wood. One coat will last a year, as well.

I had this applied about 6 months ago. Use a foam brush, doesn't take long.

Not my foot, Its the person's who did the job. I just manage/run the boat. And, I prefer to go barefoot or wear flip-flops. I hate shoes.

It is a great sealer, though. I haven't found a product that holds up that well after 6 months.
