How do you finish your wood pendants?

I love your pendants. How are they finished? I don't like the feel of polyurethane and it seems like most wood necklaces I see are finished that way. Obviously the wood needs to be protected, but I don't like the plastic feel.

However, it is a polymerized tung oil, which means it has been heated and mineral spirits added to it that evaporate as it dries after application.

This is what I use on my wooden pendants... You can read more here:
