All the Urethane is flaking off. I was thinking of going uncoated as the stain finish is pretty good....is this advisable?

Have you thought about oiling the wood with a hand rubbed finish? I've done that with teak wood using teak oil on a boat I used to own. I also have treated a wooden counter top the same way using food-grade mineral oil.
Basic techique is to apply a thin coat of oil and then sand the wood until the oil and sawdust become a paste and work into the grain. Once you've got this paste worked in, use a clean rag to buff the excess oil off and it takes on a smooth matte finish.
