I have never used poplar as a primary wood so I have never needed to apply a finish. I built a coffee table planing on staining it. Should I seal the poplar before staining and if so with what? I plan to use a wipe on poly. This is a cheap and quick project. I will use pocket screws rather than joiner.
I used the word cheap but I do not even consider poplar cheap these days.
