Y'know what might look really good on that? Tongue (sp) Oil... it wouldn't add anything to the thickness, it'll finish it gorgeously, and it'll keep it protected well... You wouldn't get much colour, it'd just make it look like wet maple, but it would look really good, I've done a few pieces with it. My mom did her big chest of drawers she has in the living roomwith it, came out great

Just something I thought of.
