David: If you use a brushable finish use a GOOD brush and DON't use a fast
drying product: it won't have enough time to flow out the brush strokes. Using
a slow drying varnish means you have to be in a dust free environment till the
stuff dries, though. I recently redid some cherry steps that get a lot of use.
I sanded them down with a pad sander, then hit them with a coat of Watco
Danish oil to bring out the color. Let that dry for a couple days then put on
3 coats of the most expensive spar varnish I could find. They look grand.
