Best way to finish this desk panel

I want to finish this okoume desk panel to bring the wood to life and protect from wear, stains and spills. It’s for a kids desk which will suffer pen scratches, texta marks and drink spills. I’ve already sanded well with 200 then 400 grit and I’m thinking a couple of coats of danish oil then a satin poly varnish. Is there a better way to finish this or anything else I should do to pre-prep? submitted by /u/tschubes [link] [comments]
