Thanks guys (and gal), The york gum is a piece that I got from Lee Tannenbaum (leetree). I ended up finishing it three times because I couldn't get a finish I liked on it. The first two times I used a BLO/CA and just couldn't get a good even sheen. The third time I used tung oil and then Beall buffed it using Ren Wax instead of carnauba for the final wheel. It's still more of a satin finish but I think it came out nicely.
