Getting ready to finish a desk, the top is walnut with walnut inlay
and I would like a good durable finish. Have been experimenting with
just the Formby's Tung Oil and just simply Poly, question is... would
I get the best finish by using 2-3 applicaitons of Formby's Tung Oil,
then 2 or 3 Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane?
One of those things, your scared to start but want it done right.
There's no turning back!
The desk is built in, which is built of red oak, with the desk top
walnut and crown trim has a section of walnut, all else is oak - the
backs of the uppers is beadboard .. which I would like to apply the
Formby's tung oil to all, should this be covered with Poly as well, or
is Formby's good enough, or is the Minwax fast drying great by itself?

Any suggestions would be great! I've narrowed it down to these
choices, but open to suggestions...
Thanks,

Formby's is dilute poly.
There is no harm to putting on two brands of poly, but no particular point
to it either.
Personally I would put LBO over all, let dry thoroughly, and put poly over
the desktop.

Note they call it "Tung Oil Finish". That is much like "Orange Drink" that
has no orange in it.
