I started out using spray on polyurethane and deft. Didn't like them very much, especially in satin. I mostly use danish oil now which is a mixture of polyurethane, denatured alchohol, and boiled linseed oil. It's easy to touch up and refinish later if need be.

Massey finish is killer too, pretty much a mixture of epoxy and acetone. The problem is it's harder to touch up if you get a scratch in it.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! thanks for clearing that up Weylin!  I use the same technique but with Rottenstone and lamp oil or mineral oil as the lubricant. The Rottenstone is just finer and leaves  more of a gloss. (mostly for cabinets) Be carefull not to breathe that  stuff in .

I have used mineral oil for some time on a lot of other projects. I will dry over time but I seal it with a coat of poly. I know its not primitive but....... ::).  Maybe next time I'll try a coat of mineral oil and finish off with bees wax
