   A dining table will see a fair amount of abuse so I would suggest any of the following;

   A hard varnish like Behlens Rock Hard varnish. There are many hard varnishes ( short oil varnish) out there and if you ask 10 people you'll get 20 different suggestions. Varnishes will add a slight amber cast.

   A polyurethane will be a hard surface that will have a yellowish cast to it. It will be difficult to repair if required.

   A catalyzed lacquer or conversion varnish. Both require spray application.

   If I were to pick a hand applied finish I would choose a varnish over a urethane. I simply like the results better. This topic gets very PASSIONATE from opposing points of view.

   Ask around and you'll see.
