Which hard varnish would be best for me?

I have bought 2 pieces of Natural Halifax Oak to use for making myself a new computer table.

One piece is 940mm x 1900mm and will be the computer table top. The second piece is 304mm x 780mm and will be used as keyboard shelf.

I want to coat them in a clear hard varnish to protect them.  I don’t know what I need. Do I need Mattcoat, Satincoat  or Hardglaze?

Depends how shinny you want the finish to look I prefer matt looks more natural

 

If Halifax Oak  is some fake  plastic oak laminate on chipboard so i dont  think needs any varnish if its made from plastic?

Oil it and leave it, nothing worse than working on a varnished desk, slippy sliding and like your in an episode of Grange Hill.

 

Just keep it thick enough that you can refinish it if damaged by the kids for example.
