No sealer. If you do, the oil will not be able to permeate the wood grain. Both of these oils will soak in, then harden with drying time. Once hard, you reapply to build up a finish, then buff to a shine. They will be slow to fill in the wood grain, BTW, so we are talking SEVERAL coats. You could put poly on top for durability.
