One was finished natural , one darkened (a dramatic effect).</p> <p>On both I used Waterlox and I really like the results. It doesn&#39;t yellow and the protection is great and no maintenance like waxing. The varnish in the waterlox will not completely fill the holes left by beetles.</p> <p>If you go this route on a large table you may need to thin with about 10% mineral spirits to prevent lap marks.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://americanwoodworker.com/forums/thread/5268.aspxTue, 16 Mar 2010 01:45:17 GMTf5d4cb8b-9fb3-4c0a-bdc0-3814c4db8d93:5268dclareitz0http://americanwoodworker.com/forums/thread/5268.aspxhttp://americanwoodworker.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=2416&PostID=5268<p>I&#39;m building a spalted maple kitchen table.</p> <p>How should I fill in the holes left by the bugs that left holes (and caused the spalting)?</p> <p>How should I finish the table to keep the natural look?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dave</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
