Furniture, Wood and Cabinetry Finishing - Refinishing Kitchencabinets

:confused: I have a 1960 woodkitchen and the stain is somewhat
bad.
Ihave started to sand the doors,and it looks really good.
The wood,I have been told is maple(venier) and is medium blonde to light blonde.
Iwould like to know how to finish it with some sort of oil that will hold up to the everyday wear and tear of a kitchen.Ido not want to stain it or change the colour.Please help,Ihave woked so hard on my kitchen and have hardly any money left in my budget.
Thank's Anja

You'll probably get some other opinions, but for my 2 cents worth I would put 2 or 3 coats of a good polyurethane on them. My choice is usually Minwax and I've used their water-based poly on my last couple of projects because I like the low odor, fast drying time, and easy clean-up. You might get a small can and try it on some scrap to see if it works for you. Good luck.

Good advice form the tow guy as far as I'm concerned. Minwax makes good products (at least the ones I've tried). Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams are two other brands I trust.

A pure oil finish offers little or no protection - especially in a kitchen environment.
