I am making a table that will have walnut top and the base made of Alder. The top will be about 16x40”. It will have plants on it so it needs to handle getting wet occasionally. It will get light usage.
In my mind I want a glossy, mirror finish for the top. I want to show off the walnut figure. I do not want to make it real dark. I am very confused by all the finishing methods and choices. I have a done a ton of reading.
I know I need to seal the top. I am looking at using Zinser SealCoat.
I need to apply a grain filler. I want a clear filler. I am looking at Aqua Coat.
I am looking at General Finishes Seal-a-Cell and Arm-R-Seal (glossy) for the top coat. I will use a satin finish for the base.
I have never finished anything of this size.
Am I on the right track? Is the order listed the proper sequence?
Thanks.
