I'd like to know what the finish is as well. I've heard "lacquer" and "varnish" but that is a vague way to describe it. Anyone know for sure?
Be careful - I think you will find that particular plywood is more like 3/16" - Not a big deal until you buy new 1/4" plywood, and find it will not slide into the extruded aluminum wall mounts

After completing the construction of a new twin bed frame for my Overlander, I am 99% sure the original face frames are cherry. As for the finish, I believe Airstream used a 1-step process of spraying stain and finish, instead of stain, wait 24 hours, then varnish. Craftsman - any thoughts?
