tung oil varnish
brush on, wipe off the excess
No need to wax or buff
holds up well for an interior finish
a pleasing dark sheen, without the shine

> enough to give a pleasing look. (the client likes it)  I don't have the
> time to experiment with every oil known to man, nor do I think it would

> Does anyone have any favorite quick finishes that would have the same
