Reading on Wiki about CA glue and found a entry about using CA and oil combo.

This is an excerpt from the main page: "Thin CA glue also has application in woodworking. It can be used as a fast drying, glossy finish. The use of oil (such as boiled linseed oil) may be used to control the rate at which the CA cures. CA glue is also used in combination with sawdust (from a saw or sanding) to fill voids and cracks. These repair methods are used on piano soundboards, wood instruments, and wood furniture."

Has anyone here used the CA mixed with oil? Seems like you would be able to apply it with you fingers and really be able to rub it in well.

It sounds like it might work as an alternative finish to me.
I would try it on scrap first.
My first guess is that it would be a sticky finish.
