allright after not getting any results searching "refinish" or "lacquer" in subject titles, I used "wood" and got a bunch of hits
here are the best results I got:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21466&hilit=wood
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3491&hilit=wood

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7862&hilit=foogerwood
in summary:
1. Tung Oil
2. Gunstock by Minwax
seem to be the most popular options

I’m certain I coated on polyurethane or lacquer afterwards, but I don’t remember the model or brand …just something ultra clear and with minimal color. Here’s how the SK-1 came out:
