Hello all,
I'm new here to the site, and relatively new to woodworking as well, so please bear with me. :)
I am making a cherry window sill (inside application), and I am looking to even out the tone of some sap wood visible on the edge, as well as provide a well-wearing topcoat that will help protect against sunlight, and my wife's inevitable plants.
I am considering staining the sap wood with Minwax oil-based cherry stain, following by boiled linseed oil all over with a spar urethane topcoat. Do you see any issues with this, and are there any intermediary steps that I am missing in my newbie-hood?
Thanks for your assistance,
Mark
