====== What I've done ======

I decided to go with oil-based varnish and stain because I like the smell and it's much cheaper.

=== Wax ===

This smells incredible.

=== Stain ===

This will be going in the gutter and on the strips. I'm thinking of staining only the outer of the edge strips and leaving the inner au naturale, for some contrast.

=== Varnish ===

I had intended to get the gloss instead of the satin. I looked at some comparison photos and the difference wasn't huge. I think the surface will be plenty glossy thanks to the wax.

=== Plywood ===

I should be able to cut the top piece out of the centre, and the bottom piece out of the corners.

From [[https://www.milsims.com.au/crokinole-discs-premium-red-14|here]]. I got some red and some natural, because that's all they had in stock.
