I would treat it just like the wood is done on boats, and use oil. The problem with oil is that you need to do it every year. Sometimes more. There are a lot of oils designed for wood and I'm not sure which to recommend. Some have tints to them, like Sherwin Williams clean oil stains, others are will just protect the wood and make it look nicer like Teak Oil or Danish Oil. But there are quite a few to chose from and sometimes the only way to find what works best for you is trial and error.
