   I have used Osmo on a cherry slab. You can see it here: https://beasleysevindesigns.com/seasonal-live-edge-grandfather-clock-with-genuine-hermle-movement/ . I used the extra thin mix, I think it's 1101. My best advice is to sand an extra grit- to 400 and apply 2 coats. Put it on heavy and let it soak in for 30-40 min then wipe off. I didn't have any real issue with blotching, but cherry can be fickle. Good luck with your project.

   Not clear from your description if this is in the kitchen, but regardless the way you describe it I would use a film forming finish. If you are able to spray conversion varnish holds up very well to these conditions. If you are going to brush on then poly would work.

   I would suggest using Waterlox - Is it a "quick" finish? No. But we have it on our wooden island top which is about twenty years old and is absolutely beaten daily with sliding dishes, wet glasses, and even has a bar sink in it.

   The beauty of Waterlox is that I can do a light sanding with 320 grit sandpaper every year or two, reapply another coat and it looks like new!

   I just don't think "quick" and "durable" are comments about any finish!
