Along with cutting a new insert for a sink (see my Jigsaw question. smile ), I've sanded down and started re-oiling our pine kitchen worktops.

I should be able to get at least half a dozen coats on before the rest of the family return home and expect to have the extravagant luxury of an actual working kitchen, but I was thinking this evening that the wood actually looks infinitely nicer when the oil is still wet than it does once it has soaked in and dried.

Is there any alternative I could apply instead when I come to top it up in a few weeks/months that would give it a bit more of the wet look sheen than it currently has? I'm thinking more satin than gloss, and obviously varnish is out, given that it has to be good for food prep!

Actually, thinking back, more likely beech? I don't know! hehe

It's definitely not oak, yew or ebony though!
