    Hi All, I am in the process of (finally) building myself a bench to
    work at. I made the top of 3/4" plywood covered with 3/4" tounge and
    groove red oak hardwood flooring. Made for a very strong, stiff bench
    top, and it looks pretty good too. 

    My question is this, what is the best finish for this? Should it be
    finished with varnish, polyurethane, or should it just be waxed? And
    with what? 

    I'm sure there are lots of right answers to this, I'm just wondering
    what the options are and thier advantages/disadvantages. 

    Thanks for your input, AL
