Hi fellers!
New to the forum here just joined today, I wouldn't even call myself an amateur wood worker but I have a bit of basic gear in a workshop I was mostly gifted... I dabble whenever I'm bored. Anyway, to the chase...
I've knocked together a kids dining table from Kwila wood, had a go at turning some legs on a bit of a hack job lathe I made, it is a little rough, still needs some sanding and attention I know but I was hoping to get some advice on how to finish it. It's for a friend who has a 2 year old boy and another one on the way, she says he will beat it up, probably **** on it... So at least she doesn't mind marks :laughing:
So, anybody have any suggestions as to how to finish it? I've tried poly urethane on a small bed side table I made which obviously is very durable but it had a bit of a plasticy look to it. I've also tried tung oil on another project which looked great on kwila in my opinion but I don't know that it would last well with a kid spilling crap on it. Can you P.E over an oil...? Or anything else anyone would suggest?
Cheers for any help in advance,
Josh
