Klear-Kote...

A bit expensive for just one job tho. I used to cover bar tops/tables and made a few cypress clocks. Used Klear-Kote (which is the clear epoxy others were talkin about), and it would also give your '****' a golden crystal ball look. If you'd like, I have some out in the shop. If ya feel like it's worth the time to mail it back and forth, I wouldn't mind putting a couple layers on it for ya...

I am sending it to Crok (thanks) to coat for me. I just found the instructions for painting in the box when I repackaged it. Imagine that. We'll see how it comes out. I love the forums, the only place someone across the country offers to coat your ****!
