I had a cabinet guy finish the bed wood for me. He put the stain of my choice and put 5 coats of sealer. This sealer is what they use on boats when the wood is refinished. He did not put this on the underside of the boards because he said the wood has to breath. If he put this on the underside of the boards, they would warp. It only took us a day to install the wood.
