Finish Used
Minwax Early American stain and sealed with polyurethane.
Applied wood conditioner prior to staining. Let stain sit for about 5 minutes before wiping off excess. Let dry overnight. Applied 2 coats of Minwax oil based satin polyurethane. Let dry overnight between coats.
I didn’t want to be poked in the rear when sitting, so I sanded everything to 120 grit prior to starting. (Reason why it took so long)
