Varnishing Oiled Wood

    Hi,

    I have mahogany (iroko) kitchen counter tops which are oiled with Danish Oil. They look great, but the areas which get a lot of splashing - beside the cooker and the draining areas beside the sink - get easily stained with water, food and cooking oil.

    How would I go about varnishing these areas given they are already oiled? Is there a good varnish which would work and wouldn't be too obviously varnished next to the oiled areas?

    Thanks! :)

    I doubt anything can be done.

    I used maple for my worktops and I coated them with a clear epoxy from the outset.
