I would recommend the 6 to 10 layers polyurethane - it makes it smoother - I am going to add a few coats of it. That is what i have used in my kitchen and I love the feel of it...the only down side is you really to let it dry for a week.it will be dry but needs to harden.

I'll post a couple of pics in a little while.

Well...we are finally able to have the kitchen that we want...My kitchen from three years ago...make over still looks great but we are ready and save and save for our new kitchen. Real wood cabinets, tile floor, glass backsplash, new reset lighting , new panty and much, much more...the contactors come on Monday and it will take 4 weeks...in two weeks the new granite countertops wil arrive, new sink, faucet...I am soooo nervous...its going to be pretty stressful around here. my old blog does not work..I turnned it off so that link is no good...it brings you to some ad. I will see if I can find a picture of my countertop that I painted with the stone spray...it still looks great.

handles make a huge difference. have you tried changing out the handles/knobs? Also there a is a bottle of some stuff...cant remember the name but it is a watered down stained that you can wipe on with a rag. I have done it with many of my furniture and it makes everything look like new. (real wood).
