Watco Danish Oil, Linseed Oil, Tung Oil
Clear Varnish
Clear Varnish with a tint
Oil Based Lacquer
Sanding Sealer or No Sanding Sealer
Gel Stain of various colors
All great suggestions, none of which I have at home - except for the
sanding sealer and some Wipe-On Poly.
So how to I go about testing upwards of 10 different products without
going out a buying some of each? Is there an International House Of
Finishes that serves a pay-one-price brunch buffet so I can sample
a multitude of options? ;-)
Yes, I being slightly facetious, but is my only option really to spend
$50, $60, I don't know, $80+? on a bunch of products, most of which I'll
never use?

Wood craft often will allow you to test finishes in their store on your
scraps. But don't take advantage of a good situation.

Well, you could look around for a novice who's been baffled by finishing
for a few years. Such a person might have a can or two of most of those
things laying around, and then some.
Don't ask me how I know :(
