I want to make a wood top to my firepit. Thoughts on the below?

2x3 pine studs glued and clamped.  
Carved with epoxy fill.  
Top coat with a uv protectant epoxy.  
Finish with a marine spar.

Firepit is in full sun. In NC. I would like it survive in good condition for at least five years.

Would penetrating epoxy (Total Boat) be even better?

Thanks!
