Well this might go against the mainstream of suggestions but I would use matt acrylic varnish. Dulux do a very hard finish water based varnish that will seal the wood well but not discolour it. Wax will be useless for a table top as it will show rings from hot cups etc.

I'm with DWD here. Wax is no good for a table where hot cups will stand and oil will darken the timber too much. The Dulux stuff is called Diamond Glaze although Rustin's and Ronseal both do a water-based acrylic flooring lacquer as well which work in a similar way
