I didn't want an oil finish on my counter so I liberally washed the Edsal
top I
got from Grainger with mineral spirits and put down a bunch of coats of
poly.
It came out a rich honey oak color with good grain definition. The wife
was
happy.
I am about a year later now and it is holding up very well under pretty
harsh
use. When it does finally get banged up I will hit it with my belt sander
and
finish it again.

I looked through Grainger and it doesn't look like they carry custom sizes.
I need a pretty big piece and would rather not piece small ones together. I
have to get some mineral oil and test the samples I have to see if it is
attractive enough like that.

thanks,
