I recently made a box which is to be a gift for my MIL. The box itself is poplar, with a lid handle and base of Padauk. Given some recent problems i had using spar urethane on a Padauk lamp base I made (taking about 2 weeks to lose its tackiness), I want to make sure I pick a good finish for this combination of woods. I'm looking for a clear, medium-gloss finish, which will be easy to apply & be HARD by Saturday if I apply it tomorrow. I generally prefer sprays, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice for something with all the surfaces planes (interior & exterior) of a box. Does anyone have any recommendations?
TIA
