    Ok. I'll keep that in mind. What would you suggest?

    Ivan is correct, marine epoxy or spar urethane would keep moisture out of the wood. silicone will only cover the surface of the wood. either of the two i mentioned will actually penetrate the wood and seal it from any humidity/moisture. that's the difference between a sealer and a sealant. a sealant will only seal a surface, but a sealant penetrates. if a sealant gets a small nick in it, all bets are off. i would definitely seal the edges of the glass with silicone, but any and all wood surfaces, i would seal with marine epoxy reinforced with fiberglass mesh between the first and second layers.
