I recently built a desk for a client and they specifically wanted the desk out of redwood. I procured a nice redwood slab from a local source and the desk came out great. I finished the desk with a couple coats of Osmo.

A few months later, the client has noticed how soft the front edge of the desk is, and the slightest dent or scratch leads to a lasting mark. Does anybody have any ideas how I can better seal the edge? Im not really setup to spray a film finish (I have a very basic spray gun and dont feel skilled/confident enough to spray on lacquer or conversion varnish over a surface that large).

Im planning on trimming the front edge slightly so I can create a fresh/clean edge without scratch marks, but I want to ensure that this doesnt happen again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
