Awesome roundup! I was literally admiring an accordion door vintage white cabinet in our store today. Here, for anyone interested, I added a few of our white cabinets and shelves to our blog http://rehabvintage.net/blog/2011/08/23/white-caninets-and-bookcases/

Henley! Great Table! Most of the tips you have received are great options. If you really want to do it once and forget about it, go with the poly. Oil-based products are superior, but take longer to dry, and require thinners or mineral spirits to clean up. A good water-based poly should do the trick for indoor use. A couple of brushed on coats, allowing it to soak into the grain will seal it for several years, and you can reseal it any time.

Another option is oil. Teak oil, Tung oil or even Danish Oils are great sealers. Brush it on and let it soak. Wipe off the excess and let it dry. Buff to a hard finish. Retreat every couple of years or as needed. This is a little more work than the poly route, but it will give you a rich, natural finish.

Here is a sample of a 1950s Oak drafting table that we refinished with teak oil: http://www.rehabvintage.net/details3.php?prodId=298&category=

Good Luck with your project.
