I like Tru-oil. It gives a subtle luster and lets the real nature of the wood show. Touch-up is easy. Havent’t used it with stains, which I’m pretty curmudgeonly about. It’s popular for gunstocks.

Tru-Oil makes a lovely finish. It's a modified linseed oil... rumor has it that there may be some tung oil in it too, but Birchwood-Casey is wishy washy about that.
It's a LOT of work to get a REALLY good finish with it, but six or seven coats with wet-sanding in between will make a finish you won't believe!
