I've used a True-oil-linseed oil mixture with a couple drops of Japan Drier added to control drying speed. Otherwise the blend takes a very, very long time to dry and never seems to in humidity. Once done it does last well but I try to do a little top coat freshening up once a year by rubbing a few drops in and working it by hand. But as noted earlier I suspect every fellow who has finished more than three stocks has his own secret blend and perfected ways of doing it. I'm still looking for a long lasting, easy to do way that is fast and not too costly. LOL.
