If you like the CA finish, I would suggest giving the Massey finish a try. I use that instead of CA now. I tested barrels for about a month leaving them in my car, spraying with bug spray and whatnot and the Massey finish held up pretty well against the CA. Pretty good info on here on how to do the Massey and it looks pretty dang good. I do use oil before I do the finish with BLO and after I do the finish I am going to start using Beeswax on top of the Massey finish (next little experiment) and test that against a Massey finish with and without Beeswax.
