Regardless of the finish, allow it time to fully cure (about 200 hours) before delivering. I am reminded of a desk I built with a poly finish. I put my computer on the desktop 48 hours after the final coat of poly, and the constant pressure of the computer's feet has left foot prints on the finish.



Good suggestion.

Just curious, where did you come up with 200 hours? Just experience or from a manufacturer? That is a very specific number.

I'd lean toward brass or black pins in this case. Not sure that's your taste but I think either combination would look sharp.
