A physical therapist has asked me to make him some massage-like tools for him out of wood. Shaping the wood is no problem, but I'm concerned about what protective finish I should apply.
You see, after each use, they'll be washed with soap and water and wiped down with a disinfectant wipe.
Would a polyurethane finish hold up to this kind of treatment? Would lacquer? Is there some other plastic-like coating that would be better for this application?
