I’m planning on getting a hardwood plywood board to attach to an antique(ish) teachers desk so I will have a larger desk. The teachers desk is only ~2.5x4.5’ and I’m looking at creating a 3x6’ desktop.

My question is, with what should I finish the hardwood plywood? I want to keep/see the wood grain, and would like a finish that will be reasonably durable from day to day wear.

Thanks.

    This is the way. Waxes, oils, and even shellac are not durable finishes that will hold up under the kind of wear a desk top will be subjected to.
