The use of the Minwax or a marine epoxy are the best solutions.

I apply multiple coats over a couple of days/weeks to let the wood adsorb the chemicals. Done. I endured heavy traffic, got the Minwax at Home Depot, and applied it right away, 3 coats one after the other. I'll apply another one or two in the days ahead. Everyone's posts have been helpful and encouraging. Thank-you. The trunk is truly awesome. The base is slighly flared like nice hips then narrows at the waist, goes on a bit and divides into arms, two nicely opposing trunks about 4 inches in diameter. It already has great flow and movement. I see a dancer or the Venus de Milo. I'm photographing everything and will post to the IBC site after foliage emerges.
