I agree that linseed oil is the best, and safest over all. You can mix in a
little burnt motor oil to darken it if desired.

Dear Listers.........
there's always the old standby for fresh wood..... Linseed Oil.
Here in UK the US military surplussed hundreds of pint-cans of the stuff a
few years ago. It stays tacky for a while but eventually dries to a good,
non-sticky finish and as far as I know, it doesn't have any noxious
additives.
Highly recommended for spade and axe shafts.
