Yes that’s exactly how I do all my oak, first coat diluted slightly and then two more except in your case I think you ought to use oil based polyurethane varnish. Ian

Or Treetex hardwax oil that’s what I used on the oak my basin sits on & has for many years.

Have an oak shelf I'm my en suite, gets quite humid regularly. I finished it with Osmo Polyx Hard Wax Oil, 3 coats. This was in January, no issues so far although obviously it will require refinishing in time.
