If you are going to use oak, then Danish oil is a good finish. It
doesn't come up too much above matt and is easily refinishable
without stripping. Easy to apply as well.

fumes are strong though so needs lots of ventilation while drying


I thought the Danes were a green lot

Yer kidding. They have (or used to have) power stations burning oily
fish industrially. The windmills are just a front.

Besides... what's the use of so called green products if they don't work?


Oil finishes is probably the one area where solvents don't do much. The
oil on its own is a good consistency and doesn't really need thinning
for most applications.
