    Default Fishing on Aquarium stand

    I am making a stand & hood for a 72 x 24 x24 inch Aquarium out of solid Jarrah. I have several 65 & 70mm Jarrah slabs which I am getting ripped. The stand & hood will be built "in-situ".

    Could anyone suggest a finish for it. I normally finish my work with a polyurethane.
    I don't fancy using this as it gives off fumes for a while, even after drying.

    Any advice really appreciated.

    Cheers
    Col

    Subject should read "Finishing"

    Apologies.

    I must say that I quite like the look of Jarrah when done with Danish Oil.

    Hey Col,

    I agree with wongdai, an oil type finish would be the best on something that big.
