I'm on to my third replacement MFT top. With the first one I had a sudden rush of enthusiasm and general MFT love (sounds like where you are!) and decided to use a coat of MDF size on both sides. It warped very slightly, just a mill or two, but it was no longer flat. On the subsequent tops I didn't bother with any finish and they've both stayed dead flat.

Maybe co-incidence, but now any future MFT tops will stay as nature intended, and if they end up a bit grubby or with a few coffee mug rings then so be it!

The size varies depending on the model. There are several different models. They're made of MDF.





In answer to the original question. I used a couple of thinly applied coats of Osmo Hard Wax Oil (Satin).
