I made my workmench out of MDF and I finished it with Minwax Tung Oil Finish (because that's what I has on the shelf not being used). It put a nice finish on the MDF. Afterward, I applied 3 coats of JPW. It's a somewhat slick surface which I guess could be undesirable in some cases but I like it because glue won't stick to it.
