I second the first reply, diluted linseed oil mixed with an oil based spar  
varnish will do nicely.  Then when it is finished being painted, enamels or  
oil paints only, then a few coats of an oil based spar varnish followed by a  
couple coats of spar urethane seems to work nicely.  I have a sign that was  
placed on a tree up in the northernmost regions of Canada that was finished this  
way 4 years ago and is still going strong.  I vote for no bondo for  the 
cracks as I think that would be disastrous in a few years.
