   Hi Jon,

   Well, I'm not aware of any interior finish that will prevent yellowing but, this might be of interest to you: < Obsolete Link > click here.

   Also Dave discussed a wipe on water borne poly on the main page: < Obsolete Link > click here

   My approach would be to use Min Wax's Wipe On Poly primarily out of durability issues. If this vanity sees light use I would even consider going with a super blond shellac.

   Hi Jon,

   Now that's a coincidence!  I finshed a vanity in maple and cherry just two weeks ago.  I used a polyurethane varnish and it's yellowing already.  Fortunately the tone fits with the bathroom.  I would really like to see what you've done.  Could you e-mail an image?

   Regards

   The water based polyurethanes don't have any amber shade to them at all, so you'll get a truly clear finish.  I find it looks a bit unnatural on the wood to me, though; I prefer the slight ambering of standard polyurethanes.  If you want to use the water based poly, you might want to experiment with some scraps and try one coat of a very light stain first.  If you use an oil-based stain you have to let it dry a good long time before using water based poly over it.
