Hi All, I'm just about ready to finish a peninsula countertop for my kitchen. It is made from reclaimed wood, probably Douglas Fir, but not certain. It is from the mid 1800's and very stable. Now, it is roughly 38" x 98" with a small top mount bar sink. I'm aware of all the info out there against putting a sink in a wood countertop, but am choosing to ignore it. The floors throughout our home a just oiled and I love the matte look of the finish. Do you have suggestions as to the finish I can apply to this countertop to achieve a similar appearance? BTW, I'm deathly allergic to tree nuts, so need to avoid things like walnut oil. We always use cutting boards, so food contact is unlikely, but ...
TIA for your thoughts.
