I'm looking for advice on how to finish a bench I've just completed. It is
made using Birch 3/4" plywood and a face frame (made of cherry for
contrast). Usually, I just slap on 3 coats of a satin oil-based
polyurethane and call it a day. I want to try something different for this
project so I'm thinking Tung Oil perhaps? I've never worked with anything
other than a poly, so don't know what effect TO will have on the look of the
wood. I've read this article,
http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/pages/w00060.asp , which is
informative but didn't help me decide if TO is the what I want.

Thoughts?
