How to treat bamboo?

I was given a Bamboo Tiki Bar for Fathers Day. What should I treat it with to protect it from the elements?

I like to use carnuba car wax. Since your furniture will be exposed to the same elements as your car, the auto wax will give the bamboo the same protection against the sun and rain. It doesn't hurt the wood, gives it a nice shine that will bead up water but on really light areas it may darken the bamboo. Depending on how exposed your bar is to the elements, particularly sun which makes it brittle over time, you will have to treat it about every 6 months. But, you can test that by dropping water on it to see if it still beads. You can also use regular furniture wax or butcher's wax, but it simply doesn't last as long outside.
