I've used sheepskin pads and foam (?) staining pads about a foot wide on the end of long handle. I prefer the foam. Keep it in a ziplock bag with mineral spirits between coats. I've found one of the most difficult parts is to get the right light so that you don't leave puddles or dry spots. I've also learned to use leather moccasins on my feet when putting on later coats since shoe sole patterns sometimes show up if the existing coat is not completely hard.
