My current work load plus another getting ready to break ground. I'm not getting any weekday climbing or surfing lately.

That top looks like Liquid Amber and the Juniper slabs- I love the fragrance they put off.

Damn pocket door is still off its track.
The hill took a beating in the big rains last season (I don't dare call it winter, nothing froze.) The picture looking up is kind of distorted, it's not as steep or close to the house as it looks, but some retaining wall construction is in order or the thing'll slide down on to the driveway sooner or later.

Tad, go to targetcoatings.com and get a quart of their Hybri-Var varnish. Order a pint of their extender so you can either brush it on or use a rag. You want the satin, I presume. A quart of their water-based shellac is what you want for a sealer. It is n00b-proof and will bring a lot of color out. email me for more detailed advice*: snekker 49 at g mail dot com
*I actually know something about this shiz! ;-)

Well, for a countertop oil wouldn’t be my preferred finish for durability reasons although it is more easily repaired. Target Coatings has a water based conversion varnish to which you can add a cross-linked polymer agent that effectively makes it a post-cat conversion varnish. Probably the closest you can come to a true alkyd post-cat which are getting hard to buy in the Peoples’ Republic. A little insider’s tip: you can go down to yacht supply places and still buy the really good stuff like Epifanes or Sikkens Cetol. The retard air quality nazis either haven’t figured that out or they still want the good stuff for their boats. ;-)

Warbler- try a practice run with A-B bar top epoxy on something. It's amazing stuff and very flexible.

IMHO bar top epoxy is bomber but would not do justice to Warbler’s beauteous wood. You have to admit that stuff looks rather plasticy.

Remember those old wood Chart House tables? Clear, thick, durable- those were poly resin I believe.

Yeah Warbler, I used a plastic spatula and let it lay down-no brush.
Both times the results were amazing. You have to scrape off the drips that form on the underside as it sets up
I sealed the underside with water based poly urethane.
I practiced on something first.
Good luck!
