My wife and I decided to go with dark kitchen cabinets (lots of natural light). I am having second thoughts about the decision because I am worried the stain will turn the end grains of the raised panels pitch black. We wanted to go with black doors but as lightly as possible if that make sense. A friend mentioned that a light coat of shellac will seal the end grain enough to prevent over absorption. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated. I built them with red oak.
