So yesterday I decided that I needed to build a little workbench that would fit over a couple of small filing cabinets so I would have a place to clean my guns that isn't my computer desk. After some swearing, it all went together, and looks OK. I figured I'd stain the top then polyurethane it, but is there a better finish for the surface than polyurethane? Or should I just slather on a couple of thick layers of poly and call it done? I'm thinking about all the solvents that will probably end up on the top. Any suggestions from NES woodworkers?
