Not alot of Uke luthiers out there... Where's Tiki King when you need him?

You can start with Tiki King's website, then check out Hana Lima 'Ia for more Uke building tips.

The final decision is yours, especially since you're using it mostly for decor: you can go heavy-duty & use 3 coats of marine varnish to protect it from the weather, or you can go quick-n-dirty & cover it with Pledge, or you can use a hand-rubbed nitrocelulose laquer like a professional guitar maker.
