What's the best protectant to put on wood beds? I'm more concerned with protection than looks, but I don't want something so thick that it's brittle and cracks.

Hi: I do some woodworking and would use a spar varnish designed for marine use. Might want to check local boat parts/supply store. One thing is any finish will last longer if all sides and ends of the wood is coated Brian

Creosolt.
Teak oil runs a very high second, if you think maybe you don't want that telephone pole look.

Marine varnish
Linseed Oil, buy a gallon and let it saturate then every so often wipe down another coat with a damp rag.
It would be expensive, but you might try clock sealer. Otherwise, any outdoor wood product (like Thompson's) would be as good as another.
