@TikiSkip: That shellac/burn color you provided is EXACTLY what I would like to do. It looks great. You really only got a year out of it before it deteriorated to the picture you provided? Do you think the same would happen to me based on the above post information I provided? If I got 2-3 years before it deteriorated I would be happy. I am going to use spar varnish instead of shellac since shellac is not meant for outdoor use.

This piece of yours below is really similar to what I want. It looks like you just used amber shellac throughout it all and burned the upper,lower, left, and right beams a bit more than the middle paneling. If I burn is it necessary to sand too?
