Hello all
I hope it's ok to ask this here...
I made a table for our patio last year, with the top made of reclaimed scaffold boards, sanded cleaned up, then joined carefully with biscuit joints and glued up, then treated all over. I really enjoyed creating something for myself and more to the point I was really pleased with the results and a year it's still looking great, and looking forward to another summer using it.

Having enjoyed making it and being so pleased with the table, I figured that this might be a little side business I could start, but I'd need to offer a variety of "finish" options, so I was hoping I could get some ideas of good quality finishes from all you clever people who already do similar for a living. Looking for a variety of colours, finishes (i.e. from just staining to a full weather-proof varnish), and also some for both indoor and outdoors too as there could equally be demand for similar for indoors.

Not going to be turning this into a multi-million business so won't be stealing your clients!!!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions and tips.
