Beautiful lines and I agree that an oil finish would be most fitting. I'm sure that your wife will find the perfect place for it

Thanks! Hah, without fail. I used waterlox on it, which is basically a wiping varnish. I call it varnish.

Brian, that is gorgeous. You never fail to impress me.
Even with a protective finish, the weather and UV radiation will take a serious toll on that piece. White oak is reasonably weather resistant, but not like redwood or ipe are. Oil will look nice, but cover it with an exterior varnish or something if you want it to last outside.
Very nice.
I will not let my wife see this or she will want me to build one.

Lol! I may build some individual stands using steel columns and plate. There will be a bit of TIG welding involved if I take that route.
