I have had good success with Formby's Tung Oil finishes.  After staining
I apply several light coats of tung oil by hand, rubbing it in well and
steel wooling lightly between coats.  It takes about 3-4 coats to produce a
satisfactory finish.  You can get tung oil in either high gloss or satin
luster.  I have done several pieces of furniture (mostly maple) this
way and have been very pleased with the results.
