Does paste wax soak into the wood? I was shooting for something that would soak In 😅
I read a little about BLO as well, but that yellows over time and I think danish oil is a little more user friendly
Paste wax gives a nice finish. My dads finished his coffee table in it and I like the way it turns out. Gives sort of a satin finish and has seemed to hold up really well for daily use. I also use linseed oil on a lot of projects. It does penetrate, maybe get a few different small containers of various oils and test them in areas that aren’t visible. If you decide to go with something like a satin poly, unless you have experience with it, I’d hire a professional to come spray it.
Ohhhh I know better then to do anytning poly myself 😂
Yeah, I am really thinking danish oil will be the most forgiving- i had strongly considered linseed oil and it’s still not out of the question but danish has linseed in it if I remember correct so it’s the best of both worlds, kinda 😅
I haven’t used Danish oil personally, but it is certainly widely used. I’d say buy some, apply it to a back corner or something and see if you like. Oils like linseed are what I used for most projects, unless it’s something that might have food contact. I’m sure Danish oil will turn out great.
Paste wax may be a good solution. Try it on the inside of the doors if they are finished or other out of the way place to see if it is what you like.

I have no idea, sorry. You wanted something to freshen up and that is what it does. I haven't used any for decades so I'm not an expert, sorry.
Oh thank you for the advice! I will look into it ☺️
