If you don't stain it, you can expect the outer (white) wood to stay fairly white over time, and the inner (dark) wood to continue to get darker and richer with exposure to the sun.

I built a high-chair for my first daughter out of cherry that was almost a very light pink when worked, and it is now an extremely deep, dark velvety red, more "cherry" looking than even the best minwax stain.

Personally, I think it will give nice contrast to the piece!
