My best advice is....test strips. Keep scraps of wood from construction and test finishes on them. I made Baltic Birch cabs and it didn't take stain very well. I used "Tried & True" products- few coats of its "Linseed Oil and varnish" product, with its "Linseed Oil and Beeswax" as a final coat, and they look very nice and are aging nicely. These products are very good, but I imagine other good oil finishes would look similar.
