Near completion of a beech pedestal bed for my toy crashing son. We liked the look of oil for the color on the beech and have placed 5 coats of mineral oil on all the visable sections of the bed.
My experience with POLY is limited, only currently I only have a water based polly on hand, which I would imagine would have issue with the oil. My second concern is renewing the surface if I POLY it, wiping oil on will not soak into the wood.
Shall I leave it bare, or some sort of wax coating maybe?
