I need some advice on the best finishing protocol for a Honduran Mahogany butcher block countertop.
This top was salvaged from the workbench in my Dad's saw sharpening shop and I'm using it for as a desk for my Mom. (Yes, it's been stripped and sanded.)
It wasn't quite long enough so I've added Hard Maple breadboard ends which I'm planning on leaving natural for a two tone look. They are aligned with loose tenons but I haven't glued them in place yet.
I'm planning on spraying General Finishes High Performance High Performance Top Coat (Satin) with Enduro Crosslinker added to increase the durability.
I haven't finished Mahogany before so I would appreciate any advice you might offer before I get started next week.
Sealer, stain, grain filler?
