Keeping Mahogany Light

TLDR: Need advice on how to keep mahogany dresser as light and cool toned as possible.

I got a solid mahogany dresser on fb marketplace for $40. I hate dark furniture but I know mahogany is expensive which is why i bought it. I plan to sand it down to remove the stain and coating. What are the best top coats and techniques to keep it as light (and not orange) as possible?
