Picked up this fella at Lyme Regis market a few weeks back (unknown maker).
He’s had a quick coat of what looks to be varnish by the maker but I’d like to give him a bit more weather protection.
Any suggestions?

A look into the future of your Wood spirit, Wildgoose.
Two Wood Spirits live in my back garden, the larger one was a present made for me by a good friend on my old Unit as a gift when I retired...April in 1999. ( where did that quarter Century go? )...
He's carved from Field Maple and has never been treated with any kind of preservative, having spent about 5 years on an open Verandah and the remaining 20 in a garden, as now.
The small one standing on top is much newer, about 6 years, a present from my Daughter. Typical ..She thought the old Wood Spirit needed company...
He is made of Silver Birch, also untreated.
The big Wood Spirit is perhaps half the weight he was when new, and loses a little more with each passing season.
Just a personal choice to leave them outside amongst the greenery where I think they belong, watching over me and returning to the earth.
