It depends on the type of finish you are wanting. I like wipe on poly because it goes on thin, and feels good to me once it's cured. Sanding in-between coats will improve the finish. If you are looking for a glass smooth finish, it will take quite a few coats, and the bushes recommended here already. I'm not a finish guru, I just like the results I have gotten with wipe on products lately. Good luck.
