I made a Shaker-style utility table with two drawers. It is made from
pine and I turned two birch knobs for it. I used a wood conditioner
and used a honey gel stain--no blotches(!). My question is how to
protect it since it is a softwood. What can be used to make it look
Shaker, yet tough? I will use in a theater room to store remotes and
media. TIA

I made a pine blanket chest years ago. I believe I finished it with
sanding sealer or shellac and rather many coats of paste wax, each of which
was rubbed with 0000 steelwool and then rubbed out with a "lambswool" pad.
Lasts fine.
