easiest... probably TruOil. Lots of us use it. Easy to apply and dries quite fast. I use four coats. I apply with a folded paper towel and hang in the shop with a floor heater blowing on it (my shop is 60 degrees). It dries in a couple of hours. I buff out the first two coats with a buffing pad on my Mouse sander. Apply any writing on the second coat. Final coats I hand rub with chino cloth. Depending on the riser wood, I may give more dry time to the first two coats. You want to make sure it's dry on the riser. The limbs will tend to dry faster. Gives a nice finish that seems to last pretty well. Not as hard as the spray finishes or heavier coat epoxy finishes, but definitely in the easy category.
