[Bill1234]

Made stool in my woodworking class how would I add polyurethane coat just apply with brush and smooth out with steel wool later or is there another way?

that works, or you could try one of those foam paint brush applicators...

Grain came out nice but I don't want to ruin the nice light red color

You can also use a wipe on Poly, use a rag, do several coats. Easy as pie!

I second to do multiple coats and smooth. Another product if it will be in elements or stepped on alot with wet shoes is spar-urathane. I have built outdoor oak tile top tables and spar'd them 3 years ago and they are still in great condition. With multiple coats a fine grit sand paper may come into play just in case humidity plays a roll. good luck!

Finished the stool with 3 coats of poly

looks great...what did you finally decide on as the application method?

[Bill1234]

I applied it with one of the small paint brushes and then let dry. In between i used 240 grit sand paper to remove bumps and imperfections.
