I wanted to waterproof it so I applied three coats of minwax Antique finish on the wood. It gave it a dull satin shine. The first coat I sanded it with 600 grit while the antique finish was still wet. I then wiped it off immediately. I applied two more coats letting it dry for 5 minutes each time. Three coats was just enough so the finish didn’t get to shiny and not look period correct to me. Turkeys beware!
