Keywords: finish oak cabinet

I am remodelling my house and have just installed my kitchen cabinets.
I had them custom-made from "rift-cut" red oak plywood.  They are
really beautiful.  They are still unfinished, as I have been searching
for the right type of finish to apply.  I want a clear finish that, if
possible, preserves the "pinkish" tint of the oak.  Since they are
in the kitchen, the finish also needs to be water resistant and should
not scratch or mar easily.  So far, the best I've been able to come up with
is to put a "sanding sealer" on them and then 2 or 3 coats of clear
polyurethane.

Does anyone have any comments about this type of finish or recommendations
as to others?  Thanx!
