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.
