I agree with Tony on the heat sealed clear coat. I really like the results in Red and white cedar being they are so soft. Works great and completely dry within a day or two and hard as rock. In AYC I am starting to think it may be over kill, but is a superior finish IMO, just not sure it is worth the effort or necessary with that particular wood being it is pretty hard to begin with. That being said I have had piece's of AYC that are as soft as white cedar too and would benefit from the epoxy seal technique. I usually try to select the heavier and harder AYC stock when I go to buy it.
