After a couple years of use, we gave this a light sanding and a coat of spar varnish on the bright finish parts. Once it stops raining, I'd like to do a few more coats.

It's still nice looking, but there are a few dark areas on the wood where we wore through the old finish and it got stained a bit.

A good inspection shows no water damage, the graphite bottom has some worn areas at the tips and the ends of the keep. those will get touched up when I do the graphite bottom on my current project.
