Re: Finish For Bed Wood?

Absolutely not on the underside unfinished idea. Finish both surfaces the same no matter what you choose. One side different than the other will affect how evenly the wood absorbs and releases moisture. Bottom line is wood moves with moisture level, and there is no stopping it. If opposing surfaces are moving at different rates, warpage or cupping happens.
Seal both faces, edges and ends with a penetrating sealer for best results.
