This weekends project is to replace our kitchen table top. It's going to be a field of maple wrapped in walnut. I posted a question on the design forum concerning the breadboard edges: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...?threadid=7113 but thought of another question probably best asked here.
What's your recommendation for a finish? This is a VERY HARD used table (2 small kids) and I'd like a durable finish. I don't think it needs to be food safe, we don't eat off the table (well, at least we don't if we have guests over). I was thinking some sort of oil (tung/danish/BLO) followed by poly or shellac (blonde). Whadaya think?
Thanks,
