A different finish for ya!
The finish I am about to describe for you was one that my old teacher tought me. I mainly used it on the completed piece of work on the lathe as it was a breeze to apply.
Its simple, beeswax sealer, once this is applied the tip some Brasso on your hand and apply then your done. Yes I said Brasso,the brass polish. Great stuff on pine and similar timbers. Gives a light sheen and a beautiful golden yellow tone. Im not smoking anything, trust me, give it a try! Let me know what you think. I call it The Jard's Polish. (Named after Mr Jardine, my former wood/metal work teacher.)

Great Respect!
No worries about Brasso,
in the old days we had to restore telephones with this product, pretty much a fine grit with emulsifier me thinks, high evaporation rate especially with heat, buffs to a high shine, must be magic

It's been a while since I was in the Army and had to polish any uniform buttons and smelt it - but isn't this stuff Amonia based.
Sounds okay on soft wood but knowing what Amonia does to some timbers I'd be careful around Tanic Woods like Oak & Ash.
As always, try it on a piece of scrap first.Dragonfly

Ah yes! But we all use the canuba wax based finished that Ubeaut sells. Its a harder wax that stands up to more abuse than beeswax!

I agree, testing it in scrap is always a wise move! Tealady I might have to try some of that polsih.
