Laminated Pine and Cherry Board

Hi all!

I am in the process of building a workbench as one of my first major wood working projects, so I am especially amateurish when it comes to finishing.  For the legs I am laminating two 2"X4" SYP boards with 1"X4" Cherry board sandwiched in between.  I am wondering what would be a nice simple finishing technique to make the legs attractive.  Should I finish the pine and cherry separately or is there an oil or shellac I can apply to the entire leg assembly that will look good and preferably allow the Cherry to really stand out as a nice accent to the pine?  Also I plan on using the cherry board as a skirt around a layered plywood bench top, so would want to slop something on that assembly as well, I just don't know what!  Thanks so much for your input.
