There' also friction polish which is shellac based and available from various retailers at about £26 per litre plus VAT. These kinds of shellac have limited darkening effect, certainly much less darkening than any of the oil based finishes such as Danish oil, oil varnish or linseed or tung oil. As to durability and stain resistance, shellac's pretty good as long as you avoid things like fruit that goes rotten before it's eaten and suchlike, standing water or alcohol. Slainte.
