Need to know what some of you would put on a dining room table top. It’s going to be a temp table for about a year while I construct the real one for my mother(that one going to be veneered,inlayed.etc.). The one in question will actually just be maple plywood cut in roughly 3×1.5′ sections and let into a maple 7×4 cope and stick frame with the panels flush to the frame. The dimensions are just guidelines, I know they don’t work on paper now. Any suggestions to take the abuse. Thanks.

I put 4 coats of Watco on an antique solid oak table 4 or 5 years ago. We use it daily I don't see any real wear on it . A scratch or two hear and there but it still looks good to me.
Good Luck

A plastic tablecloth.
"A plastic tablecloth."
My first official laugh of the day... thanks, Charles. (And sorry, Jack, I don't actually have any good suggestions... just taking up space in your thread.)
DavidLook, I made a hat -- Where there never was a hat!
Would that be a 'heavy duty' plastic table cloth ? Or should I search the archives under 'various degrees of table' cloth until I find the right one? Thanks, it was a funny answer.

Depends on how messy you are when you dine.
Seriously, I'd just use a wiping poly for the temporary table you mentioned.
