Thanks Warren.
Makes sense - But do you think there'd be much problem with corrosion/oxidisation if the base of the tree has mulch or dirt that's permanently going to be dampish up against it ?
I was going to follow your lead and apply a clear lacquer, then wax to the tree, but I never trust lacquer like paint.
It's always a worry for me when I have repousse work outside - lacquer will keep it looking as it should for longer - but when oxide does start under lacquer it looks worse and patchier than bare metal going evenly, and you can't do much about it without stripping all the lacquer?
Advice ?
