Thank you Phil for the compliment and the mention.

There are so many options for finishing it is impossible to recommend one that is best. Many new ones have been introduced since my book was written. Craft Coat and Drechseln and Mehr pen finish to name but two.

My advice to a beginner would be to try them all and find the one that you are most comfortable with using. They all have advantages and disadvantages. Unsurprisingly, the easiest to apply are often the least robust.
