Any ideas what type of finish was layered over the years on this picnic table? (lemmy.world)

I'm guessing this is the result of layers of slathering a fresh layer of finish on these tables. To be honest, I kind of like the look. Any idea what type of finish this might be?

Here's a slightly different angle:

We're in SE MI, so I wouldn't call it particularly moist but it's not super dry either. The weather out here is very similar to what I experienced in New England

Edit: based on surface wear and looking at these things for years now, it's been a few years since the last time they were refinished and there's no flaking.
