I applied BLO to my mahogany table and was wondering if a oil based minwax clearcoat is OK to use over the oil. Has anyone used this application? Thanks

What Minwax clearcoat product? The company makes a wide variety. In general oil based varnish should go over BLO without problem, though you should give the BLO 48 to cure, just to be safe.

I was looking at the minwax high build polyurethane.
I haven't used this product specifically, but looking at the manufacturer's directions makes it pretty clear that there won't be a problem over BLO, though again I'd be sure that the BLO was cured. Minwax does warn not to go over the recommended two coats.
