One option if you want a lacquer type sealer...http://www.mohawk-finishing.com/catalog_browse.asp?ictNbr=138
The 30 is better than the 50 as it's a lighter weight...less buildup. Seems to have a wax built in.
I personally like a polished wood feel and have found most sealers to leave a less than smooth feel, a lot of drag when stroking, and the water based ones tend to have a 'plasticy' feel to them. When sanding them to be more smooth, it clogs the paper and still feels draggy, IMO. I now use a much different approach, which seems to work well for me. The only time I use a dedicated out of the can 'sealer' nowadays is when redoing a cheap Asian cue that uses a Ramin wood shaft that will warp quickly unless it's immersed in a seal coat.
