Default Finishing Curly Maple?

I have some extraordinary curly maple that looks great with mineral spirits
on it. How do I finish it to make it look that good when done?

A google search suggests the most popular method is tungoil/shellac/varnish.
But I saw a Fine Woodworking article referred to that seems rather more
complicated. Should I go to the trouble of finding the FWW article, or
stick to the TO/S/V?

If it matters, it will be on a turned bowl. Won't turn it until Monday, but
the wood is great.
