That above was done with new rattan and bamboo.
It will not be the same on yours, but then do a test to see.
For that look do a LITE burn so many times ya see this dark line that's too much burn I think.

"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 can't say for sure but my guess is that it will turn to s$%t kinda fast,(2years)and you got snow, tree sap, is that a Pine tree?
But do what you think will be the best look for you.
If you put all that money and time into it and it goes bad for the most part you will be back where you started.

And I would do a lite sand then a LITE burn then shellac then do a protective seal on top of shellac.
Do this on a small piece to see if you like, then move on to the rest.
