How do I treat a new wood door ?

Can anyone advise me how to treat a new Hemlock (similar to pine) untreated door. I do not want any kind of varnished finish and also want to retain the light colour as much as possible.
Ideally I want a treatment that I can re-paint over the top every year or two that will soak into the wood?
Any advice appreciated.

how about wax? clear finishes are available and can be recoated very easily.

OIL IS ANOTHER OPTION.
