Pour some epoxy over the top. It looks great and will totally protect the surface.

you will want to use an epoxy finish, wood itself is obviously not water tight, and any typical finish like polyurethane are not permanently water tight. So you basicly need to coat the wood in clear plastic, atleast on the inside.
this would work https://www.amazon.com/Finish-Varnish-Provides-Gorgeous-Appearance/dp/B000PEGLBS
I would put a layer of epoxy coating on top of the whole thing. Something like this should be available at a local big box store.

Give me minute to look up the video I saw but it is not that hard and the acid is very dilute. It takes less money than powdercoating and the finish is amazing. Plus it can be used to do multicolor effects. The bar top finish is an epoxy based finish. Ill look for a link brb.
Ok here it is the bartop finish

I already etch boards this is not much more difficult
Plus you can do photoemulsion resist and do really crazy graphics.
I will be doing some of this in the next few months and will post my results.
Acacia us beautiful stuff.
I've used this liquid epoxy before for an outdoor sign I made, held up OK but in direct UV, it will need recoating every so often.
do a small test batch on scrap to get process down
For inside, should be fine

Sounds like you want to use the kind of finish that is used on bar tops and bar tables. There are many different brands, such as this one:

Or this:

Yeah, especially to protect the (I'm assuming) non-oil-based, less-durable coats of paint underneath. http://www.amazon.com/Finish-Varnish-Provides-Gorgeous-Appearance/dp/B000PEGLBS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=arts-crafts&qid=1301373510&sr=1-2
Yeah I patched the big voids with mortar. You can see a slight difference in color but it's not bad at all. My sink is ground/polished down to the point that there is a lot of exposed aggregate (and the surface had a shine before the epoxy, I guess from the polished silicon in the sand?), so there's a lot going on anyway.
If you are leaving any voids (which is fine, just make sure they can drain so that water doesn't sit in them), make sure to thoroughly vacuum them so there's no cement dust that could come loose.
I (think I) used this one: http://www.amazon.com/Finish-Varnish-Provides-Gorgeous-Appearance/dp/B000PEGLBS
Here's a pic of the sink; it looks better in person :) http://imgur.com/a/k1lwZ#9

If you are having people sign the bare wood and then you want to cover it with something glossy i suggest epoxy. Something like this should do the trick. Check youtube for tutorials on how to use it, but it is fairly simple.
I'm not 100% sure but if anyone is wondering...
This is the kind of product they used to cover the sprinkles:

It's not very easy to use though. After applying an even layer, air bubbles will appear and you need to burst them with a torch.
