I'm building a couple end-tables out of blued-pine and was wondering what
type of finish to use to show off the blueing. Ideally I'd like to have
a finish which is durable enough to withstand the occasional coffee
spill.

Thanks in advance,
Lance

I've used clear shellac or polyurethane with great success. Would guess
that any clear finish would do the job.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I needed to do anything for UV protection. I left
some blued pine out in the sun most of last summer and it completely lost
it's color. That's what I'm hoping to avoid since the room I'll be putting
the tables in is pretty bright and sunny.

Thanks,
Lance
