Please help me choose a clear coat, I'm overwhelmed (lemmy.world)

I made my wife a floating shelf out of poplar. The wood has a nice light color and we’d like to leave it relatively natural. I’m overwhelmed by the clear coat options and don’t have a lot of experience with natural wood look. Any recommendations? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I like Rubio monocoat. It’s a two part catalyzed finish but is applied like a rub on poly. I used it for a walnut bathroom counter and it has held up well. https://www.rubiomonocoatusa.com/?country=us&reset
