AtomSmasher:
Thanks a lot for the help everyone, couldn't have done it without it.

You're gonna wanna do something to the insides too. Leaving them unfinished will cause you problems down the road.

I was thinking about that too, would a couple coats of polyurethane be good to seal it? It would be easy enough to put on.
DrewKaree:
I'm also talking about the very real possibility that you'll end up with warping or checking of the wood due to the stuff drying on only one side, pulling the wood in one direction.
I'd throw as many coats of poly on the backside as you did on the front. You don't have to take all the steps you did for the frontside, so that'll save you some time.

its already been over 24 hours since I put the poly on the front side, so if it was going to warp, it already would of. I think the 2x4's being screwed and glued on probably helped keep it from warping. I'll definately keep that in mind for my next project though.
