Hi,

I am building a table/kitchen island out of soft pine. Is there
anything I can do to make the surface harder? I plan on using
a sealer/stain and several coats of poly. But that might not add
enough dent resistance.

Thanks,
Gary


pine is going to dent. if you put a hard finish on it, the dents will
crack.

get good with it getting distressed or choose a different wood.

Apply a thin coat of stainless steel, that'll make the surface tough as nails.
