Cherry looks so nice all by itself, there is nothing I would suggest
stainwise to improve upon what nature did here. Maybe a little tung
oil to pop the grain, and a topcoat of shellac/wax.

If your customer or your wife wants dark cherry, you really need to learn
how to stain cherry!

Thought the rule here was "if your wife wants something, you have to buy a
special tool".
