I am building a wood carvers workbench
from fir and am wondering how to finish it. There is room on the back for a tool tray and back board and my original plan was to use some recycled stuff which can be seen stacked against the wall. However, I am now thinking about using some kind of finish on the bench - a shellac sealer followed by some kind of oil or maybe just the oil - and figure it wouldn't look so good. Also, am thinking of adding tool holders to the back board and carving a relief of some sort.
Opinions welcomed.
