I am almost finished building a workbench in my garage. This is my
first wood working project and I am very surpised at how it turned
out. But I need help to finish it. Does anyone know of something I
could cover it with to protect it. Maybe some kind of rubber matting
or a paint that would keep it from soaking up anything or getting nics
and cuts. Thanks


A Danish oil finish works well. Cover it with newspaper if you are
using your workbench for finishing a project or for a glue up. The
newspaper makes cleanup fast and easy.
