Whatever you have been using should work fine.
Looked at a few places to get a big enough piece like that where did you get yours?

I use tru-oil for the first couple coats as it will soak into the linen fibers and it will give you that jet black finish. Then I sand lightly, and spray with Thunderbird. I noticed if I go straight to thunderbird without a few hand rubbed coats, it will not seep into the fibers but rather dry on top giving a whitish/uneven finish.
Nice risers.
wow, those are gonna look awesome!
