I would do a light colored wood. Oak with no stain probably. Just several coats of Spar and let the beauty of the wood come through. The Spar will make the wood grain have light and darker wood color range to it.

If not lighter I'd go really dark, maybe a walnut stain. Just saying with that color you could do either and it would look awesome. Me.. I think light.

Here's an old 68 I did. I know it's not Bronze but it's a deep gold .. similar color family.
