Jack, there are lots of options, of course, depending on whether you want a 
shiny finish, a satin finish, or whatever.  I myself, for fine wood like 
maple, prefer Tung Oil.  You'll have to reapply it over time, but it's the 
most "natural" of the finishes available.  When you touch it, it feels like 
wood, not synthetics.
