    Help in Getting Walnut where i want it to be

    Hey all,
    I'm finishing a walnut media console (that I've been working on for way too long...). I done 3 coats of Watco Danish oil (natural color), and I like the color it's brought out in the wood, however, it feels dull and I want to end up with a satin/semi-gloss finish... while keeping the wood as natural looking as possible. What are some ways to achieve this? I watched a fellas wipe-on poly video (oil based I guess??). I watched another guy use steel wool and "finishing paste wax" (whatever that is?). Can you give me any advice on taking this from OK to great? Shellac? I'm lost

    Here's a pic of the top of the cabinet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cWh...ew?usp=sharing

    thanks,
    john
