I will be constructing a simple stand using hard maple legs with a leopard wood apron to hold a glass vessel sink.
Are there any considerations to the finish? We live in a dry environment, no kids, and we're careful with water usage.
Urethane, varnish, lacquer, penetrating oil?
My only experience with leopard wood is a few small turnings so I'm not too sure about the best way to get the most color out of this wood. I'd like to keep the maple close to white.
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Burt
