I've used poly with good results but I really like <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.waterlox.com/" target="_blank">Waterlox</a>. It's a tung-oil/resin mix.

I agree w/TomBoy about Minwax products. They're awesome. I do like using small cotton pads wrapped up in a piece of nylons, yes, nylons. Depending on your project size, deterimines the size "ball"/"wad", whatever you wanna call it. But, WOW, try it sometime. It works great. The cotton pads and nylons can be aquired from Walmart very affordable. Place the pads inside a piece of the nylons, tightly wrap n tie it making a smooth surface. Just dip it into your finish to absorb, and spread it on.. …

I used both Minwax and Cabot both have their own best features. I have pick some of both stain at Lowes mistint section for 1to 2 dollars a can. I have some success at mixing stains to come up with different colors. As for top coats I use mainly Polyurhtene and at sometimes Varnish and paste wax.

i like their wipe on poly as well but i think you have to put on too many coats to get a good finish. i like the brush on or spray on better. takes less time to get a good thick coat. <br></br>

Have you ever tried Cabot brand stains, I will use them in a pinch, like when Minwax doesn't have my black in stock, Cabot has an Ebony but, it has alot of shine to it:-)</p>
