I said I'd report on my experiment with a single coat (brush) of
polyurathane.
The fourth winter did it in. streaks of rust all over the place.
        The piece with an undercoat of boiled lindseed oil is still bright
and shiny but it's only been out two years. I think the lindseed oil stays
slightly viscus under the polyurathane/varnish and reseals the thing every
time the sun comes out.
        Stand by. We'll see how it looks after a couple more years.
