  4. Finishing
    I'm not a big poly fan, varnishes and lacquer are my go to. Being winter time, it's too cold and humid for most finishes. Having to finish indoors I prefer poly. I've been using Crystallfin from Dalys in Seattle but I imagine there are better products on the market. I need to finish some stair...
