I'm currently working in walnut but oak and mahogany are also in line to
be
used. I have a variety of finishes on hand including tung oil, salad bowl
oil, lemon oil, varnish, and shellac. Is there any site or book that has
pictures of what these and other finishing materials look like when used
on
various woods?

TIA
Norm


See if your library system has Bob Flexner's book "Understanding Wood
Finishing". It has a number of color pictures that may help you understand
your options.
