Redwood Greenhouse stain

I got a used santa barbara redwood greenhouse a few months ago and finally got around to cleaning and brightening all the wood. It was really dirty so I took it all apart and cleaned it really good. I tossed it inside my garage to let the wood dry out about a week ago. I was thinking about staining it but I wanted it to look natural. Does anyone have any experience with stains for redwoods? Or should I just leave it without a stain?

Thanks

You could use some natural oils to give it a nice sheen and protect the wood from insects and cracking (Linseed seed oil, Teak oil or even Olive oil will do). Bees’ wax will also help to preserve the wood and liven it up.
