Weekly discussion thread #2, Finishes

This week's discussion will be on different kinds of wood finishes!

For those of you who are new to the world of woodworking, finishing refers to the final step when it comes to creating and sealing a piece. Finishes come in all sorts of varieties, from rub in oils, to food-safe finishes. What finish you choose is generally based on preference, and what you're looking to protect with the finish.
