thats a real tragedy not a nice way to go at all poor chap

can i take the rx please @spikeyfridge love mine

striker42 it is good stuff its so good i used it on my daughters cot bed i have never used anything with a high sheen i generally use a satin if i want high sheen i use laquer if its a high sheen you want your local auto parts shop will have a clear laquer aerosol depending on the size of your block just be carefully beech is very bad for stress bending dont leave it near a heat source it will cup (curl) once you have your finish on you will lockin any moisture the timber is holding far less chance of this happening ideally leave it in the room you plan on keeping it in for a few day before working on it to acclimatise hope this helps

imo wax is the 1 product i would not use on any kind of atty stand or mod for that matter wax will scrape off and could possibly find its way into coils particularly drippers wax isnt hard wearing either like thatguy says a shellac is an option a teak oil or scandinavian oil my personal preference is osmo hardwax oil fantastic stuff very hardwearing easy to apply safe for children and pets its a tad pricey but worth every penny i use it on wooden floors bookcases tables its the only product other than laquer i finish any of my woodwork in i have tried most finishes including french polish non are a patch on the osmo goodluck with your project
