I'm pretty new at this and feel dumb asking this question...
We cut down some trees last fall, and now have some gigantic logs (15" in diameter, cut to a hight of 10") that I'd like to stack and place planters on top of them. Because they're going near the foundation of our house (which is wood), I'd like to seal the logs to prevent any question of termite damage to either the logs or the house.
What on earth do you use to seal the logs? Polyeuretane, like you do on hardwood floors? Any ideas would be more than welcome. Thanks so much.

Re: sealing logs?
You can't seal the log before it's completely dry. Depending on what type of wood it is that could take over a month to air dry. Otherwise you can take it to a custom woodshop to have it dried in a kiln.
For however much this is relevant...
When we stack our firewood, we set it on treated lumber to protect from termites and to keep it off the ground from rotting. Then we spray the whole bunch of it with termite spray from HD.
