Thanks Stringscope, I plan to give it a medium colored stain, then 2-3 coats of a clear laquer to give it a gloss finish. I have aquired a compressor, and I'll buy a sprayer next week. I've never stained/coated anything like this before, so I'll do some testing on some scrap timber. I guess I want a finish similar to the SDM/ Obsession telescopes. A stain and clear coat which is dark enough to get away from the pale plywood appearance, but light enough to show the grain (whatever grain there is to show in plywood).I bought some Cabots Stain and Varnish all-in-one and used a "wipe-on" method on some scrap, but this left a blotchy surface. I need to experiment with my method, first...
