[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 146440, member: 2310"] ^^^--- aawwwww :D Maple? All natural finish with all unnatural attributes...? AFAIK, all oil/wax rubs will change the tone of the wood either immediately, or darken with time. Shellac? Not alcohol resistant though or very durable. On the practical side: Acrylic is shite. Will never crack, but it softens even at room temperature. Polyurethane is king and there are brush-able (sponge-roller is even better) versions. It will stretch while it cures, and it can be light sanded afterwards and polished. Easy on the flats like table top, not so on the curved shapes. LOTS of hard work.... [/QUOTE]
