newest addition of welcome sign/bird house/chain held seat

I think this looks like pine or oak, not sure, but it's not sanded and I'm wondering if a waterproof light stain or just a clear varnish would do nicely?

What does VOC stand for in regards to wood stains/waterproofing wood?

A basic stain should be fine. And it's a really cute piece.

thanks so much. I went out today and bought some stain/water proof protectant. Can't wait to get started tomorrow :)...
