First off let me say I'm a huge fan of Danish and Tung oil. Just about
every indoor project I've built has been finished with either one or
the other. Now I'm about to begin a cherry kitchen table. I realize
there's little to no protection with Tung or Danish but I LOVE the
look and feel of any wood finished in oil. So, that being said, is
there any finishing product I could use on this table top which will
afford me the look of an oil finish along with a decent amount of
protection??

R!

Don't know if it's the look your after...but I like General Finishes
Arm-R-Seal...I've had it on an oak table top...and have been 100%
impressed with it's performance. The kids have left a sweating glass
on it after dinner and found it the next morning, no damage to the top.

Does the ArmRSeal absorb or does it build up a surface finish?

It builds...but not thick like poly

Thanks, man. I will order some today.

When you get it, I believe it'll say you can brush or apply with a
rag, I applied many coats with a rag, it may take several coats...but
stay with it and don't forget to sand between coats. Good luck!
