If you are cutting it from wood and it will be out doors I would suggest teak or cedar wood as they stand up better in the soil and outdoor weather. I would personally not put a finish on the wood other than maybe saturate it with BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil) which will help the color and pop the grain. A finish will wear off and have to be re-done every two years or so.
Just some suggestions.
