3 coats of wipe-on polyurethane. Let cure for 2-3 weeks then rub out with
pumice and rottenstone.

As an aside, Deft does make a brushable lacquer. It will be labeled as such.
A retardant can also be added to it to slow up regular Deft for brushing.

I think that maybe he's talking about the aerasol cans of Deft, since
that's the only kind that has the be sprayed (though I agree that the
regular stuff is easier sprayed than brushed).
To the OP: you didn't say what kind of table, but I'll guess you mean a
dining room or some such. In that case I'd use a short oil varnish like
Rockhard.

If you do not have spray equipment, do not use the deft. This is great if
you have a compressor and spray gun, The stuff will dry in a matter of 30
minutes. But if you use a brush, then you do not want to use deft. It dries
way to quick to make brush application impractical.
Have you considered using tung oil? I love the stuff, looks great, easy to
apply, can be touched up in a mater of minutes, and pretty tough.
