Green mesquite is too oily to accept General Finishes ARM-R-SEAL - it will not dry properly.
Mesquite is resistant to most oil finishes, but it easily accepts shellac, oils, and waxes. We recommend shellac instead because it doesn't react to the oils in the wood. Here is a good resource to find about: properties of various wood species.
Wood finishing is fun and easy. Don't rush through finishing a piece of furniture as if it is a race. Imagine how it will look finished in your home in living color. Set up a good prep area. Turn on some tunes. Get creative and enjoy the journey.

Wood Turner's Finish is a water-oil urethane hybrid for use on wood turnings, bowls and other lathe-turned projects, now made with more than 50% RENEWABLE RESOURCES formulated from sustainable materials that decrease the carbon footprint.
General Finishes Pro Image Topcoat or Pro Shield Topcoat can be applied directly to the stain without a sealer.
In cases of species like White Oak top coats can pull tannin from the wood leaving an undesirable color affect. Many closed grain woods such as maple, walnut, and cherry may only require one seal coat and two finish coats. Most open grain woods such as the oaks and ash will need two seal coats to increase the build of the finish and improve the final result. If in doubt, put down a coat of sealer.

General Finishes Water Based Stains have superior qualities over oil-based stains. Their high-quality pigments produce rich, dark, uniform colors on hard-to-stain woods like maple and pine.
Today we'd like to share with you this gorgeous table that was built and finished by Marion Lovett for his own home. This project was quite the challenge considering the table weighs in at about 800-900 lbs! It is 8" around and made of old oak barn wood.
