I made my wife a floating shelf out of poplar. The wood has a nice light color and we’d like to leave it relatively natural. I’m overwhelmed by the clear coat options and don’t have a lot of experience with natural wood look. Any recommendations? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Great question: we use coasters religiously on it, so I haven’t found out yet.

That said, I bet condensation from a glass fogs it up pretty good :( Feels great to the touch, tho.
