I stocked up several cans of Minwax Wipe On Poly, sedona oil based stain and gallons of water Poly and oil Poly during a close out. I have a large 2" maple reloading bench that's unfinished. I noticed the other day dirt was getting in between the boards. I don't do much pounding on that bench, maining reloading and cleaning of guns.
I don't NEEEEEDDD to finish the bench but I kinda want to. What would be best to use, a poly, a stain, shellac, oil?
I'm a little confused on the difference between a minwax sedona oil based stain compared to a tung oil or linseed oil. Would the sedona oil based stain provide a protection of some sort after a couple coats?
I also have a quart of Watco Danish Oil Light Walnut.
