Im just about ready to start finishing a cherry dining table and thought i
would ask for suggestions from the rec on what to use. It will be an every
day use table and the base will be painted a satin black.
since this table will be used daily I was wondering if it will have light
spots on it from things left on top and the light not hitting it. in that
case should i use color it with amber shellac or stain and use something
that will inhbit the light from changing the color?
thanks for any info

Sure, use _gloss_ polyurethane for durability and let it color. you'll not
want to use a tablecloth unless it covers the top entirely, because it might
leave ghost lines. Or, use a lacquer, if you have spray equipment. Shellac
won't really do for a final, given its vulnerability to heat, alcohol,
ammonia which is found in many cleaners, and standing water.
