After the old finish is removed I use a mixture of one third tung oil, one third paint thinner and one third eurathane. The thinner thins the eurathane and the oil allows it to penetrate into the wood fibers. It will then harden with a beautiful satin finish. Use a few coats and I also save the socks I get for christmas from the inlaws to use for applying stain. They really do work great. Apply the stain once, wipe off the excess, wait one hour and give it another coat. Let that dry overnight then repeat the process.
