I know that there will probably be as many answers to this questions as there are people reading this posting. I am building an outdoor patio cart out of white oak. I live in west central Florida we have a have a lot of sun and rain but no snow.

I will probably be using some kind of penetrating oil finish for exterior wood surfaces. For example Cabot timber oil or the like. Unless I purchase online my selection is limited to Lowes and Home depot. There are also some manufacturer sale stores for example Sherwin-Williams and the like. So what are your recommendations?

I don't want to use a film producing finish. I have a boat with varnished brightwork (wood) and the varnish will not last one year in the Florida sun. To refinish any type of varnish or film producing coating will require lots of sanding. I don't want to go down that road. BTW I have covered all of the brightwork with cloth coverings.
