Thanks for all the info guys. I have a bunch of blanks turned and ready to go and I have decided to take Slipknot's advise and try
tung oil thinned with turp and a splash of marine grade spar varnish.
I will give this mixture a try this weekend and let all know how it goes. I don't expect any paint adhesion problems because I use (always have) oil based paints and have not had problems in the past with adhesion to the Waterlox which is tung oil based.
