I would use a polyuerethene, it will be the most durable finish. Hand rubbed finishes require a lot of maintenence

Try a coat of tung oil to bring out the grain and maybe 3-4 coats of poly..

Sorry, I just noticed this post.
I use commercial grade catylized lacquers, and conversion varnishes in my work. These are best applied with high grade spray equipment.
For a do-it-yourself project, a good quality oil based polyurethane, applied with a high quality brush will do an excellent job and will be plenty tough for normal use.
