Which Finish for Oak Internal Doors

[Georgie73]

We have bought the above doors from Wickes, the doors have narrow vertical panels cut into them :

I don't want to paint them. I'd like them to look natural. What is the best product to decorate with - do I have to varnish or can they be waxed? If waxing, is that better than varnish?

Many thanks

I have similar doors which are Oak veneered. Your not supposed to Oil them as this can cause the adhesive on the back of the veneer to fail. I just used a decent waterbased satin varnish. Very quick to do and looks great. Waxing just takes ages to build the coats up.
