Once the timber pieces were ready I sanded them until very smooth gave them three coats of varnish. I used a water based clear varnish because it it quick drying with minimal cleanup. It also allows the timber to keep its natural texture rather than a super glossy finish.
This photo was taken after the first coat. It is interesting to see that difference in colour as the two more solid pieces were cut from the same piece of timber and the other four were cut from another. The colour did get a bit more similar by the final coat but ultimately I am not worried about the difference as the two darker ones will have copper plates on their flat surfaces where you see the most difference.
