Default wooden 8x10 back query

Opinions? Digging out old projects - I have stripped and ever so carefully
sanded and polished a beautiful old 8x10 back that uses (and has) rounded
corner ground glass. (The back is the popular size of 11 1/2" square overall
size, typical of Kodak and Century 8x10s) The natural color is light
mahogony.

If you were looking for such a back, would you prefer it finished (stained,
oiled) or left with no finish?

I might want it unfinished if trying to match another camera
or trying to modify it.

Most people I would think would say unfinished so they could match it to
their camera.
