What should I use.
Hi
I bought this Burnt wood wishing well planter ..picture and this at the end.
I need to use some products on it to help maintain the finish and keep it look great and maintenance free for years to come.. Without color and preferably some kind of spray or sprays... Your suggestions are welcome please.
Thanks
sincerely Wendy

Welcome to the forums Wendy!
For totally clear you could use Thonpson's WaterSeal but it's short lived and may need reapplying twice a year. If you can handle a tint of color using a toner or translucent deck stain will last 1-3 yrs [dependent on brand and weather exposure]

Deck stain would be my choice but I would add a little color knowing it would help the longevity of the product.

Polyurethane is rarely a good idea on the exterior. The UV rays are hard on it and once it goes bad it pretty much has to be either removed or sanded down to sound poly before you recoat. Deck stains do not need a sealer as they seal the wood along with adding some color. While these coatings can be sprayed with an airless, it still needs to be 'worked' into the wood with a brush or roller. Coatings in aerosol cans is drastically thinned so it will spray which makes it difficult to get enough on the substrate to give long lasting protection.

Most paint stores will sell their own brand of this type of stain. As with most things, price is usually an indicator of quality.
