OsmoI’ve got an old pine timber desk that I’ve been using in the office for 15 years. I’ve taken it home for my wife to use and we have painted the lower parts in a colour of her choosing.
The desk top I have sanded back all the varnish and it’s a nice light colour with some large knotty / grain marking. We’d like to give it a ‘nude’ type finish in satin or matte but I’m confused about the best product to use.
Any suggestions on products tough enough for a desk top but that will keep the light raw pine colour and not yellow off?
Thanks
Ahh, a few options down that rabbit hole …Osmo

Any particular one?
Let’s not go crazy here and turn it into real workGlass top? Few finishes will stand up short of two pack stuff.
love messmate. my favorite. Though its worth noting the POlix oil i sugesssted is "raw/transparent" so barely changes the colour of the underlying wood, as per creakys preference, others will add additional tones/hues depending on the product.@creaky, satin Osmo Polyx Oil as @Squidfayce said is the business. Penetrating wax so it's good for tabletops and the like that get some traffic, does a really nice job of lifting grain and with a really like 1200grit sand after each of 2 coats it'll come up baby's but smooth.
Some messmate I did recently with two coats of clear for the top of a window seat I put in our bedroom over the holidays:

Yep. I like the 3032 Satin, but that’ll be good for matte. If it’s just the table you’re doing get that little baby tin, it goes a long way.
No eyebolts or handcuffs?Made a bed from an 800 year old Huon Pine slab as a project with my dad. Pretty happy with the result!
