Scratch resistant coatings for jarrah

Please. Desperately need advice. Have made jarrah window sills for the home. Dogs scratch them too easily when Roos sit outside and tease them or somebody arrives. Is there a really tough scratch resistant coating I can use. Currently they have an oil based stain on them. Can't remove them as they are sealed in place. Can be gloss finish but prefer satin. And don't want to loose the natural grain look. If anything. Would like to enhance it. Can anyone please give some advice of what I can do apart from getting rid of the dogs.

There's nothing that will really provide the level of protection from scratches you want as well as retaining natural grain. I'd try a floor polyurethane, but having said that, I know it will get scratched eventually anyway.

You really need something like tile to give you a durable, hard to scratch surface.

Or a sacrificial sill piece made of the same jarrah, that you remove/replace every X months.

No finish on wood is going to prevent that sort of dog damage.
We have two dogs and jarrah floorboards with hard two pack epoxy finish and we have resigned our selves to a scratched floor.
Suggest you might try training the dogs. One of those electronic collars might work.

First off, I don't know if this will work as I have not tried it on wood, if the wood deforms under the coating it may fail.........not sure.

I have however used it on some car wheels and on other metal parts and the shine it gets is pretty amazing and it is damn tough, it is a stone chip rated clear coat.

It is nasty to paint with and you should use an appropriate mask but when it dries the smell is gone, it is also a moisture cure product so you can't apply it on humid days.

Could you put a protective cover over the sill - a folded piece of polycarbonate for example. Replace as needed.

What about a repellent of some sort something dogs hate smelling ie vinegar
