Hi Jim, 

A red flag went up when you mentioned using oil to make  flesh tones on 
cherry. As Susan Irish mentioned oil has transparent  characteristics. Cherry 
will oxidize changing color from reddish pink to a  dark reddish brown. A UV 
blocker will slow down this oxidation but not stop  it. The result will be 
your flesh tone will be changing as the base color  changes over time. 

Painting on woods like cherry requires a fully opaque  paint to block UV.
