Little update on the project. My cell takes pretty crappy pics so the color seems off a bit, once it's done I'll get a good pic with the actual camera. Was originally planning on just putting a poly on it for a finish and being good with that. More I thought about it the more I wanted to keep the nice grain in it but add some reddish tint to it so I decided to give some satin Minwax Polyshade natural Cherry A try.
I am a little disappointed in how much of the grain I lost but absolutely love the color it gave so I'm happy with how it's looking. Here's a pic after the first coat.
Then second (final) coat. Still need to give a light going over with some steel wool and to line the pipe slots with something but here's how it's sitting as of right now.
