Lately I've been using a lot of Tung Oil - for some natural looking shelves,
boxes, etc. I'm really happy with the result - looks great. Expecially on
some figured wood.

Now - I have quite a load of cherry - I plan on making a dining room table
with it. Is it feasible to start with Tung Oil, and finish off with 2 or 3
coats of a Polly?

I have never use tung oil (mainly due cost) on all my projects,
instead I use varnish than finished it with as many coats (sanded
between each coating) of polyurethane as needed to get good finished.
However, if for example I need to finish a heavy use, long-lasting
cabinet door knob, shall I first varnish it, sanded and finished it
with as many coats of tung oil?

Please advice and thanking all in advance for replying.
