Bartop Finish Question/Advice
I just built a bar for my screened in porch (Atlanta, Georgia area) and am about to finish the top.
The top is 1x6 Yellow Pine as a side border (the 1x is on top)
a 1x3 Red Oak border - the rest of the bar top is Aspenwood positioned diagonally.
I plan on applying a Minwax Nautral 209 wood finish then a few coats on Spar Poly.
I'm really looking for advice or a better method.
Thank You in advacne

We probably have a completely different range of finishing products in Australia John. Your local hardware store might be a better source of advice.

John, like Rusty said, we may not have the same products as you guys up there. Here is a US woodworking forum that will no doubt generate lots of advice re bar top finishing products.....

My recommendation would be a lacquer or polyurethane (or oil & poly mix) to give you something hard wearing & moisture resistant.
