I was going to post this in the finishing forum, but it was off topic to some degree. I have a question, which I posted in the new woodworker's forum at yahoo, but nobody answered. I am making laminated bottom trays for Christmas, with exotic wood sides. The bottoms are made from baltic birch plywood (1/4" thick), with either bubinga, or beeswing makore' veneer laminated to it, with contact cement.
My question is this: What finish should I use, for trays that will inevitably get wet from time to time, to protect the wood and the lamination? It has to be relatively food safe also. I'm thinking of using a very thick minwax sanding sealer, followed by several coats of high gloss poly. What do you think?
Here's a pic of the laminations:

Thank you,
