I posted in comments then realized I should've posted here.

I built the reso-plate kit from CBGitty. 

Not sure what the wood is and I'm looking for finishing tips.

As a novice woodworker, finishing is the one area I know little about, but I'm learning. I recently made a table out of cherry. Finished with neutral danish oil and wipe on poly. The natural cherry color popped out beautifully. I wish all finishing were that easy. Unfortunately that won't work on this project.  

Any help is appreciated and of course the simpler the better.

Thanks

All the laser cut box kits at CBGITTY are Birch ply?

Thanks Brian
