    I like BLO and beeswax. Use turpentine to melt the beeswax then add BLO. I apply a few coats of only BLO. Then I apply the mixture of Beeswax and BLO and then wipe it off after 20 minutes. On my out feed table I buff the top using one of those cheap car polishers from Walmart which makes it slick. On my workbench I leave it alone or hand wipe so things don't slide too easy.

    Good heavens! Thats a beautiful bench!
    I finished mine by dripping several different colors of stain on it, added some glue smear, some chisel marks, BLO, 3 in 1, paint thinner and some rusty water. I would take someone elses advice for finishing that one.
