So, I got them done today. I used minwax fast dry clear gloss polyurethane in a silver quart can. It was pretty thin already. I applied it to the checkering via a clean toothbrush. This worked great. I applied the smooth areas with cheesecloth and a light coat. Honestly, I feel one coat is plenty of gloss to replicate the factory finish. The original finish examples I own have a remarkably light coating overall. I can still see the grain pretty well on my original sets. I took note of this and went light on the finish. They are curing as we speak. I was really impressed at how they turned out. What do yall think about the finished product?
