It's really up to you… Staining (and then Varnishing) will allow the wood grain to show thru, and even with different wood it will look acceptable (use an Oil Stain applied properly, then wait over night then Varnish with a Satin Finish Clear Varnish)…
OR Paint the piece, but prime it first with an Oil Primer-Stain Sealer, then finish coat with either Oil or Acrylic… Good Luck!
Alternatively you can Antique It… which is still a Painting application (apply a solid color base coat after priming, then finish with a glaze coat creating grain, by using special applicator tools… steel wool, brush, etc.)
