Another thread discussed bench dog options. I almost high jacked that thread :D
I am just completing a new workbench. The top is hard maple. What would be your choice of finish and why. I think this has been discussed before, but using search I could not find much discussion. My bench will be used for lots of purposes, hand tools, power tools, assembly, etc. I have two vises, twin screw on the end and a 7" record vise on the side. Both have wooden jaws that I made. I would like the finish on the top to be easy to keep clean of sawdust and any glue that may drip on it.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

PS I use Brass bench dogs from Vertias (round). Two rows for each vise.
