Best finish for light coloured wood

[Marrinovice]

Just wondering what finishes people use for Marri. I have a very light coloured timber slab with nice light colours throughout the grain. Ive have experimented with wattyl estapol 7008 on the underside and the wood has gone very dark. What would people suggest for a finish that wontdarken the wood too much

Thanks mate. Is that safe to use over the resin filled cracks in the table?

They are out of Ohio, USA and yes, they also have Marine grade and furniture grade. Very durable it does however fade some after a period of six months or so. They have a few levels of sheen to choose from. Check their website out. Good luck
