Here's where I took an expedient way out. I wanted to do a pure Tung oil finish, but I was way over schedule already, and the Tung (multiple coats) would have required more time than I had, plus, I needed to get the garage back into other productive use ASAP! (Apologies to all who helped me with the Tung oil process)
So I finished them using Watco Danish oil (natural), followed by Satin finishing wax. They sure look good to me!
