Big A

I have built a 3 tier stand for a friend to use at cancer morning teas. The plates are Jaca and the support is Silky Oak. Unfortunately I had to use a different log for the top plate and it is a slightly different colour. The bottom two are the same, but may not look it in the photo. It is supposed to be 390mm high, but I have made it a bit higher. Bottom plate is around 270mm.
I wanted to make it so it could be disassembled for storage, so it has a 6mm all thread bolt up the guts, with a long nut Araldited in the top knobby piece.
Now I have to decide what finish to use. I have DO, BLO, WOP gloss and mineral oil available, but am open to other suggestions. In fact, the point of the post is to solicit suggestions.
Last year, I donated a few bowls to use for raffles and they were appreciated. I would have expect a big donation to cancer to part with this though.
Cheers,
Alister.
Edit. Just looked at the photo - the support looks bigger that in real life!
