first project almost finished....

[Rattrap]

Heres my first project just about ready for its finish. I've used blackwood & Tassie oak with a tassie oak base. I've sanded the lazy susan to 320 by orbital sander & i'm planning on a light sand by hand to 600 then the finish.
I'd like to try to keep the timber colours true in the finish. It also needs to be water, oil & heat resistant.
I don't have a spray gun so i'll be doing it all by hand.
Any sugestions on finish? Also a little info on doing the finish would be good too.
Whatever finish type i go with it needs to be fairly tough as these things tend to get a good work out.

floor finish is tough - use the waterbase clear poly or whatever poly you like
i found the wb clear poly to be pretty good at not yellowing
but i would sand up to 600 at least

if you want a mirror shine you got a fair way to go

nice looking job by the way
that will earn you some extra brownie points from SWMBO
