I started a new carving a couple of weeks before Christmas. Then decided to replace the old MDF bench tops with nice new ones, made with plywood that had been standing in the shed for the past 6 months. Then used some interior varnish, to offer a little protection against the occasional coffee spill, or bike grease. The varnish has a matte finish, so the sun doesn't reflect off it much. It's only a tiny bit darker, and the grain is a bit more pronounced.
Couple of updates
