For those tables, I used a couple coats of Minwax Antique oil followed by a few coats of rattle can varnish sprayed on.

I use a lot of the Antique oil as a base as I like the amber tone it provides on cherry and walnut. For the top coat, I used Varthane oil based Varnish.
I have tried other more expensive finishes in the past, but found that Varthane varnish works well. It goes on easily, sands between coats easily and leaves a really durable finish. This has become my go-to finish for simple walnut projects.
