Stain the 18" Circle before gluing and allow it to set. Then brush on the urethane seal and protective coating.  Let dry overnight before delivering.  I wait 24 hours, it adds to the process, but it makes for a better product.  I made two small wood coasters as a thank you to my wife friend and business owner
