I’ve made a router table out of baltic birch to fit to my table saw. I have the router lift insert fitted, and I’m ignoring the gaps where my template guides moved unexpectedly. My question is, what finish should I put on the top? I’m leaning towards just using paste wax, but wanted to see what other options people suggested and why. (Photos to come – I forgot to take them last night) |

It has held up very well. I only used a couple of coats of Danish oil, and a single coat of wax.
This version was done when I added the 52” Beisemeyer Fence. And I used this as my router table for almost two years. And never added any more wax. And had basically the same table in the stock 36” fence that came with my saw. Used it for 3 years. The ply wood worked great, and was plenty smooth/slick. Nothing ever hung up on it.
