    Hi GJ and welcome.

    Personally, I prefer oil finishes as I think they give a glow that you don't get from certain other finishes. But if this is your first project and you want an easy way of getting a satin (or gloss) finish with only a little work, you could try Wipe On Poly, which is a Polyurethane finish that you wipe on with a clean cloth. Not much else to say really. It would be nice to know whereabouts in Australia you are. If you are in Melbourne, I can teach you a great oil finish technique.

    Regards,

    Rob
