finishing bench top

[Dtalcott at cs.com]

Joel--

Since I do not do much regulating I have not built a bench but use the top of 
my 
1920s vintage table saw, which is laminated maple.

However, after 40 years of  foolling around with such things I would 
certainly consider
these:

Coatings:  Spar varnish (very tough).

Laminates: Plexiglas (will scratch but looks sexy), Formica (I have used a 
matte
finished version), Congoleum (?) (linoleum with little chips in it, used in 
supermarket
checkout counters), or even galvanized iron or sheet copper (if you can find 
a big
enough piece).

Cheers,
Dave Talcott
