I like to use Tung Oil. It doesn't take away from the natural beauty and helps protect it. You rub it on and let it set, and rub it off. It is really beautiful when it is done. There are a lot of brands there, but I like Minwax and Formby's. tung oil slowly cures to a satin "wetted wood" look with a slight golden tint. Tung oil resists liquid water better than any other pure oil finish and does not darken noticeably with age and is claimed to be less susceptible to mold than linseed oil. Most importantly, of all the oil finishes, tung oil is the only drying oil that will dry completely. Linseed oil, for example, will ever completely dry.
