Ok today ordered my Aluminum for the roof and Aluminum checker plate for the front nose of the trailer. Also started mounting cabinet doors inside the trailer. I haven't decided if painting or staining them right now..

Dan,
Great work on the cabinets! I say a light varnish to bring out that butcher block look...paints would just be covering up some great wood. It will look good no matter what you do with it. Keep it going!

Like your cabinets very much. Pretty wood grain. I'm kind of partial to the look of naked wood, but I would just varnish them.

Man you're really moving on that build. That is gonna be sweet.

If you want to see what your inside cabinets looks like with just a little stain on them look at my reworking
Lil’ wood thread. first page 6 picture down. The guy used a golden oak on pine doors like you have installed.

Thanks, I think will go light for sure and do like the look of wood over paint.

Thanks Troy, I like the bare wood also and will likely do the varnish thing, So the grain shows through.
