Workbench finish... *again*

[Jim Hinze]

I know this has been discussed way too often, but I'm about 4 days from completing my bench and have been considering finishes... BLO is my first choice, but got to thinking that maybe something like seal-a-cell would work well (or better) than BLO for glue drips, etc. I'm just not sure how renewable it'd be.

Thoughts???

I plan on using the following:
1/3 terpentine
1/3 beeswax
1/3 carnuba wax

Wax once a day for a week, once a week for a month, then once yearly.

It's easily renewable, and glue drips come off easily.

Time tested.

Good luck,
-Mike
PS You're way ahead of me; my bench isn't that close.
