try one of the colored watco or seal-a-cell oils. two coats, then spray
topcoat with a water-based poly or lacquer. that approach works very
well for me.

good luck,

I have completed a stand alone pantry made of oak plywood with solid oak
trim to cover exposed plywood edges. I have looked through my book by Bob
Flexner on wood finishing but I can't get a clear idea on oak plywood. The
gist of what Flexner says is you can apply wood filler to oak if you like
but it is just a matter of personal preference. He goes on to say that I
should not use sanding sealer. By the way, I do not intend to stain the
project.

May I ask those of you who have finished a project that is made of oak
plywood to share your experiences about finishing such a project
(unstained)?

TIA
