Hi,
I have been working on a small router table as a project. It is made from birch ply with sapele edging.
I am not a very experienced finisher, and I was hoping for some advice. I want to use polyurethane to ensure it has a tough finish as the router table top will obviously have lots of pieces moved across it..
I was wondering if I would be able to oil the sapele first to bring its grain out, and then paint the whole project with Polyurethane.
I am planning to apply 3 coats with a brush. I’ll sand lightly at 240 grit between coats, and then sand the final coat at 600 then buff.
This is the poly I will use: Polyurethane Varnish Satin 1L | Toolstation
Thanks!
