    The toughest finish I have found is on my dining room table. No
    rings from water, wine or anything. The only damage I can speak of
    was when I was getting my hair done at home (now not just my
    hairdresser knows for sure) and the bleach got dripped on the table.
    It left a lightened spot which is now fading away. The finish on the
    table is equal parts of Linseed Oil, Turpentine and Varnish. Hand
    rubbed in with sandpaper, (Use gloves), and wiped down after an hour
    or so. Repeat after 24 hours. The more treatments the more durable
    the finish. I think my table has 3 finishes on it. It is over 13
    years old and still looks good. Now it isn't a workbench but it has
    been used and abused for all these years surviving tools, hot glue
    and the like. If you would like more info just let me know.
