I have made a cedar bench as a Christmas present, and as usual haven't thought it all the way through to completion. The good news is that I made it all the way to the finishing stage before getting befuddled.
So here goes.........The bench top is made of aromatic cedar and the base is made of hard maple (the mortises took forever to chop by hand). I have applied 4 coats of wipe on poly and it looks fantastic! However I am concerned about the weather resistance of the bench. Should I put on a finish coat of straight poly or will the wipe on poly be sufficient?
Any quick help would be appreciated since I only have a couple days left until our early Christmas party.
