What's up guys?
I've recently taken up woodworking over the winter, and this is my first real project. I'm building a "C-table" or a "sofa table." Just enough to sit a cup of coffee and a remote on. I made it out of ash, with about a 1" strip of cherry in the center.
I've been lost on how to finish it. I love a more natural look, but I also want something that is going to protect it from daily use from coffee mugs and sliding around. I originally bought some Polycrylic because I heard it looks great for lighter woods like ash, but I also want it to make the cherry pop.. will polycrylic do that?
Any other suggestions?
