    Default clear coat for a pallet table?!

    hi guys, I'm a complete noob here and
    also to woodworking in general! I recently got into
    making some things myself (a spice rack and a book
    shelf) and have decided to use some pallets to make
    a table for outside!

    I really like the old rough rustic timber look and want
    to keep that! so my question is what can I use to coat
    over the top, I don't really want to sand it to much,
    besides the big splinters etc, because I like the character
    of the beaten up pallet!! I was thinking maybe a spray on
    poly, but don't know if thats suitable for what I want!?
    open to any suggestions, like I said I'm still learning alot
    so forgive me for any silly questions!!
    oh, and I am compitent in spraying if that's the way to
    go!! your feedback would be much appreciated.! cheers

    For timber to be used outside poly is not what you want, it will dry and crack.

    Oil it, Boiled Linseed or any equivalent is good, or any finish for decking, it's designed to stand up to the weather.

    I'd be interested to see a picture of the finished item.
