    Default Finish for jarrah rocker

    Hi,
    I've just completed my own version of the Dundas rocker in jarrah and am wondering which is the best finish to use that will be hard, long lasting and give the best finish overall. Also I'm looking for recommendations for an upholsterer in the western suburbs of Melbourne to make a padded seat in leather for the rocker. Any help on either would be great.

    Sneem,

    I think the best finish is four coats of Minwax Wipe-on Poly, which is available from Bunnings.

    What about some pictures of your completed rocker?
