Default Varnishing bare wood Windsor-like chair

I have a large bare-wood Windsor chair,

I'd like to varnish it or treat it with a similar wood finish.
Any recommendations?
I don't want to go to a huge amount of trouble,
and I don't really like polyurethane.
I'm thinking of something like Danish oil?

What finish do you want?

I personally like very natural wood and use sprayable cellulose lacquers.

But that is a personal preference.
