For another time you may want to cosider one of the Livos oils, the Ardvos. It doesnt give you the gloss level that perphaps you are after however by working inbetween the oil layers and flatting the wax crystals in the oil, one can achieve a beautiful sheen level.
It has been used on the spotted gum pick handles of the infantry for years.Livos Australia

Clear spray lacquer works well. Resists oils, easy to renew and apply and it's cheap in aerosol form.
Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

Just a catch up fellers.
I saw some shellac crystals at Bunnings and bought some.
My poor efforts at turning Tas Oak and some unknown broken tool handles were hidden by the shellac.
It dries pretty quick and I am surprised at the hardness of shellac that if seems to resist my dirty hands fairly well.
Thanks
