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.

I would try Deft Danish Oil Finish on a scrap. Deft Danish Oil has more
resins and urethane than other brands.
They use it on their custom furniture at Homestead Heritage in Waco.
I've used it on two chairs I built and I really like it.
