A neat looking table. Is it put together with T&G.
Spar varnish will hold up really well.

Use Minwax Helmsman Spar Varnish to finish. I assume he will keep it outdoors and exposed to weather.

If it is going to be exposed to the weather, I prefer an oil type finish, spar varnish after a few years has to be
sanded or scraped and redone, with those slots it would be hard to get in between, although it could be done
with thin strips of wood or metal and adhesive backed sandpaper; while and oil type finish can just be wiped
on over the existing one every year. Just my personal druthers. Great looking project.

Very nice table.
If you could come up with a finish that will keep a wood’s natural color and looking good, outdoors
indefinitely….. you could make billion$.
I would just leave it unfinished and let it go grey. Being white oak it’ll last a lot longer than we will.
