I'm in the process of redoing my kitchen. I purchased "Ready-to-assemble" cabinets from Scherr's. The cabinet exteriors were finished, however the drawer boxes are unassembled and unfinished. I'm in the process of glueing-up the dovetailed hardwood drawer boxes and have been thinking about how to finish them.

I plan to just put a simple clear protective coat on them to protect the wood from water and stains. I have been thinking of using a clear water-based polyurethane, but was wondering whether it would be worthwhile to spray the poly on rather than brush it on since there are something like 33 drawer boxes and pull-out trays to be finished.
