Best way to finish pine doors?

[vicky228]

I've just had all the dirty fingermarks, paint splodges, scratches and stains sanded off my pine doors and am now wondering how best to keep them looking pristine - should I wax/oil/varnish? Anything else??

I like the paleness of them as they are so don't really want to change the look, if at all possible. Any advice gratefully received before I mess up!

I'm gonna give mine a coat of woodstain - french Oak - and its a lovely rustic colour.

I have oak interior doors and oak bannister handrail - my builder is finishing them with this.
