I've just completed my first coffee table. Last night I applied BLO so in about a week it should be ready to finish. What would be the best finish for a coffee table, polyeurethane, shellac, or lacquer? Based on what I've read shellac seems to be a very popular finish but is it durable enough for a table top?
This is only my 2nd project so my finishing skills are extremely limited. My first project was walnut with BLO and polyeurethane.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
