Bathroom vanity top
 

OK woodworkers...
Made a bathroom vanity top to cover the old laminate and gray 1980's drop in sink. This is the basement bathroom I have been avoiding working on. Before is the pic from Zillow when we bought the house (ugly seafoam green, I didn't take a before picture). Repainted the cabinets *should out to Old Village paint, the satin finish came out great) and new hardware.

This is the cheap 'reclaimed wood', not real so it is just a treatment they put on, not the whole board, so I can't sand it supper smooth without ruining the look...

Question is:
Topcoat... Polyurethane with several thin coats? Spar? Something else? Just seal it and leave it a bit rough? This isn't the main sink for anyone so it doesn't see daily use.

I would epoxy seal that puppy with 3 coats of at minimum boat builders epoxy then 3 coats of oil based polyurethane to protect the epoxy from UV degradation.
I did that in the past to a solid cherry vanity top that had an undermount sink.

Thanks Bruce. This is probably not a lifetime project (no finish carpentry like you build) , I'd guess this is a gut and remodel within 10 years.... trying to hold my wife off a bit on that with this cosmetic spruce up. Trying to use supplies on hand somewhat... thoughts on just sealing it with a clear sealer and then Poly?

Sure, it may not get a lot of abuse. Easy to put on another coat in a few years I'm sure. As long as you don't regularly leave standing water lay on it for long you should be ok.

I'd consider installing a faucet, and square up those doors before someone has a stroke.

#^&#^&#^&#^& off... :whackin:
Faucet on order and the doors... working on it, lets just say Bruce didn't install the originals I am working with here....

….and just because you tend to bust my balls, you have several spelling mistakes...
