This sounds like a modern version of the old-school high gloss finish for
furniture, French polish. In which you use a shellac moistened pad coated
with a few drops of linseed oil. It is applied by hand rubbing repeatedly
until a deep, glossy, hard finish appears. Sort of like spit-shining the
wood.

Try raw linseed oil.

A common woodwind finish these days is raw linseed oil (not boiled, raw
like you get at art stores as a solvent) catalyzed with superglue. Way I
usually use it is slosh some on a quartered paper towel and put a few
drops of superglue on. Wipe quickly and smoothly across the wood. I
usually do it on a lathe at sanding speeds which makes it easier. Do
that 2 - 3 times, polish with a flannel cloth and you've got a
waterproof hard finish in about a minute. Biggest problem is if you are
too slow or hesitate you get lumps.
