Any recommendations for finish to use? Not got a clue.
Was thinking maybe brass just for flash next time.

If you want to keep it simple go for osmo polyx, it's spendy but basically you can't go wrong with applying it, it's food safe and looks great.
There a some very dry (but interesting) books that run to hundreds of pages of text about nothing but finishing wood. Its a pretty deep rabbit hole. If you have the time and want to make it look extra special then I think a French polish would suit.

I would use liberon finishing oil. Apply, leave for 5 minutes and wipe off. Do this 4 or 5 times (24 hours between)
If you want a really good finish carry on but when you’ve put the oil on rub with 600 grit wet and dry for a few minutes, then wipe off. Also rub down between coats with 0000 wire wool.Or what Bobbo said

Looks great, it’s always a learning curve and subsequent ones will be better. Putting some finish on the wood will make it look even better
Maybe stainless steel dowel?
