Is there a product or method which will keep the wood as light as poss

"Limed oak" -- a finish in which a paste of lime (or chalk?) and wax is applied
liberally, and then everything but the stuff in the pores is taken off with a
scrubber.

A bit unusual, and not to everyone's taste, but highlights the grain and is
light!
