I have a sunroom that has brazilian walnut flooring. The Penofin Rosewood oil finish works great for the inside, but not so good for the Rosewood on the porch and steps outside. It seems to only work for a few months when exposed to the elements. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a durable long lasting finish for the exposed Brazilian walnut porch. I have not been able to find any suggestions on the net aside from the Penofin finish.

Thanks,

I have used a product that I bought at home depot called Flood cwf-uv with good results. I used it on ipe, which is another tropical rainforest timber similiar to yours. It has uv inhibitors added to it, so the sun won't break it down too fast. It is a penetrating oil finish, so it shouldn't crack and peel.

I will try it unless anyone else has any other suggestions. Thanks for your reply.
