Hi all-

I'm looking for some opinions on finishing hard maple.

I am in the process of building some furniture for the new baby and have
200bf of hard maple in the shop ready to go! I've been doing some research
on finishing and have read up on some interesting debates/experiences with
finishes.

Has anyone had an experience that they think would be beneficial? I'm open
to some ideas and have yet to purchase any finishing materials.

I'm thinking of going with a dye for light color, but what are some
recommendations for finish coats?
Any links to finishing techniques that I should check out?

Thanks,
Scott
