What to use to seal a wood carving?

I’ve just finished carving a small wooden brooch and was wondering what I should seal it with?

I want to try and keep the natural colour of the wood if possible, so I was considering linseed oil or perhaps beeswax.

Any suggestions?

You could oil the wood or use a polyurethane.I have used both on wood carvings I’ve done and acrylic paint for a bird carved from bassood.I do know someone that uses mineral oil and tung oil.I hope this helps :)

Clear Polyurethane. It comes in either gloss or matte depending upon which look you like.
