    Sand to 180 grit…pore fill…I used timbermate…sand 240, 320, 400. Stain.

    Aerosol oil based polyurethane. This is the one I used…

    3 coats ten minutes apart. Hang for two days. Wet sand 600 grit. Wet sand as flat as possible. As few shiny bits as you can get.

    Spray and then 3 coats after wet sand at 800, 1200, 1500, then hang for 7 to 10 days to harden. Then wet sand to 2000. Then I used 4 coats of a car paint cutting paste…then four coats of a liquid compound, 4 coats of a scratch remover, then carnauba wax.

    Laborious task by hand, but I find it relaxing.
