So sealing it is incredibly easy. Do some research first before you do it (both should you and how to). But basically you just need a couple of clear coat stains that you can buy at home depot/lowes/etc.Guy in my area makes these. A co-worker bought one, and it's great. She said that the maker refused to seal the top for whatever reason...it covered the integrity of the wood or some shit.
My question: is sealing the tabletop of a table like this something I need to do and how hard is it to do that? I'm just afraid of rings and such from cups or whatever being permanent on it.
Also, what would you pay for this?
The biggest question will be what sheen you want
edit: if you go to the pictures i posted, my bar is a different sheen than the board over the island. Even currently sitting under it I cant tell its even sealed because i went with low gloss. The bar has a high sheen gloss so it stands out a bit more. Also it has 3 or 4 coats on it knowing we were going to be putting wet glasses on it. Versus the board above the island only has 2 coats knowing it probably just needs to be wiped down occasionally.
