This is dlspellman, the original poster. So after a decade of living with Waterlox, I would do it again in a heartbeat. We are family of four (teenagers). We have not babied the counter much at all. It has such a beautiful, warm patina. About every four years I have given it a fresh coat of finish. It’s a light hand sand, wipe the dust off, and a quick recoat. Not a big deal at all. You can tell when you need to recoat....a glass starts to leave a ring that takes longer to dry and disappear and it just gets more dull in general.
My counter has always received lots of compliments!
