After mulling over yacht varnish, drying oil, non-drying oil or wax, I plumped on old engine oil largely through practicality, as it polishes down into the metalwork too AND gives a bit of tint in the grain. It should keep the worms at bay, and will stop that awful Travelleritis where the wood blackens near the joints under hard varnish when the joins move.
Downside was that the change in shade on the new Priors ash wood (which I quite liked just preserved, sanded and bare) meant the initial shade of green for the wheels no longer worked. So changed shade to something a tad darker.
Also tried seats mark 2 - removing the slatted backs and using Ratchford's buckram over the hi density foam panels [...which run round the edge of trampolines..], Material is thin but quite tough and waterproof - good for interior panels as practically identical to some of the material on Nippy door lining.
