I started doing all our laundry in 1995 when for the first time in our married life I had an assignment that allowed me do something around the house. In the early years I had some complaints from my daughter about the quality of my work. I gave her Lee Iacocca's advice (If you can find a better deal, take it); the compaints ended.

I have a similar piece that was supposed to be a "bar" to sit at. I used the 2-part decoupaged coating that worked out well. Has turned into a wonderful "catch-all". Perhaps those with a similar "any flat surface" condition can relate.

I think I'm just going to sand it and finish with Tung oil.
As for bread the missus makes it every few days. Her last sourdough starter died and she's ben lazy about starting a new one. She likes the fermentation and makes sauerkraut and kombucha.
If I ever make another piece with a flat surface I'm going to fix it with a 45 degree slope.
This stuff, we used it on the bamboo counter in the coffee nook and liked the result

I'm just doing 2 or 3 coats of this straight on spruce. I'm guessing over time the spruce will darken to gold the same way my floors did with 5 coats clear Verathane on them. Almost all of my house up and down has been done with local spruce 3/4 T&G flooring. I like it as it turns darker.
