Nice.

I think I'll look for some oil based "solution" (pun).

Not necessarily the only option. See if you can find an M.L. Campbell
dealer near you. They have several lacquers (their precatalyzed
lacquers are excellent) and if you're in a VOC-restricted locality some
good waterborne polyurethanes as well. And a Campbell dealer will
generally have other good stuff.

Locally a gallon of Campbell precat costs about the same as Home Despot
latex.
