Polyurethane Finish

Using it well

• Sand very lightly with 320 grit between coats — you are removing dust nibs, not material.
• Thin the first coat slightly so it soaks in and bonds.
• Three thin coats outlast two thick ones; thick coats stay soft and can wrinkle.

Reference sample in 3D

The model above is a real cherry reference block rendered in the browser. It is simulated from a height field rather than photographed, so you can rotate it to see how light behaves across the grain, the end grain and the edges. Drag it, or use the view buttons to look at the top face or the end grain in isolation.
