Bar Top Stain w/ photos - Tiki Carving

I really want to say thanks to each and every one of you for creating, posting and keeping up this site. I have spent so much time reading posts on this site and it's great. My roomate and I are building a tiki bar in our apartment and I needed some advice. We want to coat our bar top in some semi-gloss polyurethane but we also liked the idea of putting pictures or photos underneath the coating. I've seen a few pictures of bars on this site that have done that. I was just wondering if there was a particular stain or coating to use for that purpose. I would think that just throwing on regular polyurethane finish would eat away at the pictures, but I don't know enough about it to be sure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Zeek

We had to make sure to seal all the cracks and crevises before pouring, it may leak through any little holes or cracks in the bar top. I'm happy with the results of our top.
