According to this LINK, the finish is equal parts tung oil, BLO, and gloss varnish.
I've heard this a number of times over the years.

Thanks, Curt

according to Sept. 83 FWW -3 coats at 2 day intervals. Equal parts of poly varnish, raw tung oil, and boiled linseed oil."I then apply a final coat of a mixture I mix up on a double boiler: a half gallon each of tung oil and boiled linseed oil, with a couple of handfuls of beeswax grated in. Do this outdoors and be careful-linseed oil has a low boiling point."
