Re: bed wood

The marine varnish is best to use if exposed to the elements. Like they said above, use a good brush and sand between coats. After you have all the coats you want on the wood, sand the boards with a sanding block starting with 1000, 1500, then finish with 2000. When you are done sanding you can start buffing. Use a good quality compound and work up to the mirror finish that you are looking for.
