The cabinets in our '64 GlobeTrotter were in great shape which necessitated minimal work. Not so with our
'56 Safari cabinets which were painted and have been stripped down to the bare wood. They are birch - most are original, some new pieces and some new birch veneers over the original cabinets where the damage & staining was too great. I
LOVE the old-time, high gloss, clear/amber finish in the '50s trailers but also want it to be maintenance free or low maintenance after we are done.
I am considering Spar Varnish, Shellac, Tung Oil and Poly-Urethane.
What should I use for an "original" look? Are there any I should absolutely stay away from in this application? Any others I should consider?
