Just an update. I got all the cabinets and adjustable shelves stained and have applied 2-3 coats of gel urathane finish. I like the gel as you brush it on with a foam brush and then just rub it smooth to take away the brush marks but leave a slightly wet look which dries with an increasing satin finish. The stain and finish are really bringing out the textures of the grain in the wood.
FYI, the cabinets shown here are upside down, the header at the top is 4 inches and the other parts of the face frame are around 1 1/2 inches. I'm working on them this way because the tops won't be finished but the bottoms will be.
Hope to be done this weekend and hanging them after that. Only 3 1/2 years in the planning and getting them this far along!
