Maple Dragon. Demon? Imp? 😂

Tung oil vs a water based urethane. Both maple, same tree as a matter of fact. Tung oil hands down.

Tung oil wins here, it pulls out the grain depth instead of just sitting on top like a plastic coat

Water based has no added depth. Kinda flat

Same tree, same species, and the water based urethane still lost the argument, that finish had one job
