I agree with Andre … boiled linseed oil and wax. I might, however, put a light coat of shellac before the wax … and that’s bee’s wax of course … so, I guess I almost agree with Andre … LOL!

As an aside … you might want to let it sit in the sun for a bit after the boiled linseed oil, to deepen the color!
