I am making American flags from eastern red cedar.  The white strips are from the white sapwood and the red is from the red heartwood.  For interior picture size flags I am using a satin lacquer finish.  What can I use for exterior flags that won't yellow the white sapwood and will stand up to rain and sunlight?

outside you need a spar urethane, uv protected, even so the white wood will yellow and the red/purple will oxidize to look more redish brown.  still pretty.
