| That will depend, is it solid cherry?
If so, then you will have to make sure that you get all the varnish off. This will give you as uniform of a finish as you can get.
Now if you stain the wood a darker color, you will have a better chance, but remember the wood has already absorbed a lot of stain, so it won't turn out the same color as what the stain would if used on a new peice of wood.
Hope this makes sense.
