You can also try Johnson Paste wax or clear Kiwi Shoe wax for interior work.
 It isn't as glossy a finish so if you want a little shine you might stick
with poly.  Also to use the wax, you need to heat the work first so the wax
melts.  One other thing you can try is a matte finish that graphic artists
use on pastels and charcoals.

Krylon makes a great matte finish clearcoat in a spraycan that we have used
to finish steel and copper.  I highly recommend it for green copper patinas
as the matte surface is very natural.  However, at five to six bucks a can,
it is too expensive for production work.
