I just did a jewelry box that had a couple coats of Danish Oil and then
two coats of Minwax Fast Drying Poly and it turned out great, or so
everyone tells me.

I personally didn't really see much of a difference after I put the
second
coat of danish oil on.

Actually that was not a good idea. Danish Oil is a very soft film, and it
doesn't make much sense to put a hard film over a soft film.

Since when is oil a "film" finish?


When the surface is saturated and you add another coat. It's called
"curing" oil for a reason.

OTOH, most "Danish" oils aren't rich enough to saturate the surface after
only two coats, so the poly will likely be fine.
