Finish for Dining room table

[Ethan]

Hello,

I built a dining room table and have reached the finishing stage for the tabletop and was wondering if what I plan to do is sufficient for holding up to all of the different abuses a dining room table top endures.

I am planning to apply Minwax Wood Conditioner followed by two coats of Minwax Stain.  After doing a light sanding I then plan on applying a couple coats of Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane Semi Gloss.   I have already applied this method to the base. Would that be sufficient or do I need to finish the tabletop differently?

Thank you!

Ethan sounds like you have done a good job at finishing your tabletop but with it being a Kitchen table I would go at least 4 goot coats.

Ethan, I agree with David.  By the time the coats soak in and cure they will be very thin and will be easily scratched.  The additional coats with insure a long life without damages.
