Try Danish oil. Gives a nice finish and can be easily repaired.

:iagree: with :whs:

I used a mix of Boiled Linseed Oil, Turps and Polyurethane on a desk and it is surprisingly durable. Hasn't had much of a bashing yet but it is a simple wipe on mix.

I once used Danish oil on a bowl and it made the wood dis color to more of a brown. Wasn't nice. Would this happen to the table.

I didn't even see the tree shape untill I took it off the lathe. The bit behind the trunk was bark and just fell off revealing the tree. I was so Happy.
