I like that you just used Vaseline. Trying things is the way.
Both flax seed oil, and Tung oil are fairly quick to dry, and produce a nice finish. I prefer Tung oil personally. The finish is an orange-brown, where flax seed oil(linseed) is more yellow.
If you want a finish with a bit more water resistance, add bees wax.
Here is a pretty good article on it…
