Hi - Danish oil. Because the table is a working piece, will age well and get used. I personally hate stained pine, so Danish oil brings out the natural colour but in an honest way, also wipe it on. Do several wipe coats (3 - 5 or even more) - it will start to glow but never be plastic shiny. Then it gets better with use and age. Danish oil is a generic name for oil/varnish finishes, and there are a few around, My choice is Rustins as it has a good mix of varnish to oil. NOTE - shake very well indeed to get the oil up into the mix. Nice table , looks great, complements from me.
