Pine Table Needs Sealing. What To Use?

[bullmastiff 615]

I got a extending, solid Pine table and 6 chairs for £50 from a guy at work, whose's wife had painted it with white gloss paint then tried making it look distressed.... Needless to say she mucked it up!

 

After I bought it, I spent two days sanding and tidying it up. Now it's all finished I want to seal the wood but need some ideas on what to use?? I'd like to keep it as natural looking as possible, so it doesn't get that shiny 'varnished' finish.

 

Any ideas?

Danish oil

beeswax from wilkos ---work it in buff it up apply as many coats as you like --dont go for the pine it comes out orange ,,,if you want colour go for the light oak i always use the clear on pine table tops

Good couple of coats of boiled linseed oil will do the trick.

Beeswax/Colron/Briwax are all good finishes, but strongly reccomend a sealer for the 1st coat white polish if you want a natural/light colour button polish if you want a warmer colour, which ever you use thin it down 50-50 to seal the wood just brushing with the grain.Its quick drying and can be denibbed within an hour, wipe the dust off and apply the wax leave to dry and buff it up old towelling is great for this and repeat the waxing, if you want a really nice finish get some TROLLUL 0000 wire wool (not silver fleece)make a pad by wrapping it around your hand and work with the grain from one end to the other slightly overlapping each pass

most of the propriety brands of wax can be thinned with white spirits, but be warned it will slow the drying time. After 3-4 coats of wax go over the surface with a hairdrier and then buff it up
