    Bob- I, too, was curious about the finish. After doing a little search, I found this from Keith. Hope it helps you in the future.

    A couple have asked about my 10 minute finish so here it is.

    1. Sand thru 400 to 600 grit. I power sand at high speed.
    2. Rub in Minwax Antique Oil (Red Can). It may feel a little tacky but thats okay. Let set for a couple of minutes. Do not follow instructions on can.
    3. Buff with tripoli followed by wax. I use the Beall System.

    I am not a finishing expert and have no idea why this works or if it will work with other oils. Your results may vary. Works best on dense woods. Other woods may require a second or third application of the oil applied in the same rub in manner.
