You can use a variety of finishing oils and waxes, or combinations of them, to shine up and preserve the surface of a nicely planed or sanded wooden workpiece while maintaining its character.
In contrast, paints and laquers or stains will often add a non-natural touch but may last longer.

A good finishing oil should be neutral, not acidic. Examples include coconut oil and linseed oil, but not olive oil. Mineral oil can also be used if it's not meant as e.g. a cutting board or other food related wooden projects.
