I just finished assembly of a photo storage box, which is made of walnut front and back panels and maple side panels. They are joined in the corners with some through dovetails for contrasting color. I'm ready to finish it, and my plan was just to brush on some minwax clear oil based poly. I want to bring out the grain but limit the amount of work. I love those pictures of hand rubbed finishes that are built up of 10 or 12 coats. But I don't have the patience and the box is due as a gift weekend after next. Any recommendations or is the minwax a good compromise? Mark
