I'm making a light fixture to go beside the front door at the house. Mission style, small parts, grove and tennon, stained glass panels. I'm using some 5/4 kiln dried heart pine, that is mostly resin, or so it seems. Wondering what glue may be the best. I'm leaning toward a good epoxy.

Also, the fixture is under the overhang so is somewhat protected but it needs some finish that will stick to the pine and hold up outside. Any ideas.
