OK so decided to go with a wipe-on poly approach and made my own tru oil. I went 56% turps, 33% poly and 11% (ish) boiled linseed oil. The poly I chose was the Monocel Clear Wood Varnish - ultra friggen gloss. Because why not. Looked like a nice dark honey, but of course not as thick in consistency.
As soon as it hit the timber I loved the colour. It didn't bring out any of the gold sparkle I'd hoped to see from the wood filler and paint experiment, but I no longer care.
