hey everyone. I am building a new cedar table, and a wood working friend is suggesting I use an oil based stain. I'm a little leary to use an oil based stain on something that is already pretty flammable. Is this something I should worry about.
Here is the progress so far.

Top isn't attached yet, just took a pic of the pocket holes i used to connect. I plan on using a water based polyurethane for the to, and then use pocket holes on the 2x4 to connect it.

I still have to put on some trim and build the cabinet doors. Pretty happy so far. Also buying a table nest tomorrow, figured this is to nice for a paver and ceramic kiln pieces for separation.
Thanks!
