Hola, Lo primero que  habría que hacer, es ver cual es el origen del mal
esado de la madera. Quizás necesite algun tipo de fumigación, si es el caso
de que tenga ataque de xilofagos o  algun tipo de tratamiento para eliminar
hongos si tiene pudrición cúbica. Despues sería conveniente aplicar una
resina acrílica, la que aconsejo es: Paraloid B-72  al 10% en un
hidrocarburo aromático(xileno, White Spirit...) y aplicada con jeringuilla,
este producto convierte la madera en dura y resisente a las condiciones
ambientales que usted señala.

En cualquier caso pienso que sí es conveniente restaurar, en el sentido de
frenar el deterioro y  evitar que al estar en el exterior sufrar de futuros
deterioros. Pero también es conveniente que lo haga un especialista en este
tipo de obras, pues de otra manera es mejor no tratar la pieza.
Si tiene alguna pregunta en la que pueda ayudar, puede hacerlo a esta lista
o a mi correo  [log in to unmask]
Atentamente.

Hello, first that would be to do, it is to see as it is the origin of badly
been of the wood. Perhaps type needs some fumigation, if it is the case that
it has attack of xilofagos or some type of processing to eliminate fungi if
has cubical pudrición. After, would be advisable to apply acrylic resins,
the one that I advise is: Paraloid B-72 to 10% in a aromático(xileno
hydrocarbon, White Spirit...) and applied with syringe, this product turns
the hard and resisente wood into to the environmental conditions that you
indicate.
In any case I think that yes he is advisable to recover, about the sense to
restrain the deterioration and to avoid that when being in the outside to
sufrar of future deteriorations. But also he is advisable that makes a
specialist in this type of works, because of another way he is better not to
treat the piece. If it has some question in which it can help, it can do it
to this list or my mail [log in to unmask] Kindly Javier Quiros
