oil or wax finish - indoor timber panel

Hi there,

 

I have purchaed thjs timber panel to build a office table. I thought it was simple where I just need to buy table legs and i am done. However, the instruction says that I need to apply a finish to it e.g) wax or oil.

 

As i am new to all this, I am looking for some guidance to my questions:

 

1. Should I apply wax or oil? And what is the difference between the two?

2. Is wax or oil really required?

3. Do I need to sand the table top, or can I just apply the wax/oil directly?

4. Does the wax/oil need to be applied to the entire table top (top, bottom, side) or can I get away with not doing the bottom?

4. What is the best application for wax or oil? What sort of brush do I need?
