Hi All
I have been making a TV cabinet from reclaimed Iroko (school science tables), post here and am approaching the later stages of the build and need some advice on finishing.
I would prefer little or no darkening of the wood and a satin finish. The indoor authorities have stipulated it needs to be tough, resiliant and up to the odd coffee cup being placed on it. Routine waxing/maint is not wanted, so a finish I can put on and forget would be ideal. I have no spraying equipment (at least for this size of item) so any finish must be wipe or brush on.
All suggestions welcome.
