Thanks for all the sage advice! I'm fairly concerned that the finish has to be water-friendly, since the door is going to be where it could easily get splashed from the sink or even something on the stovetop.
The rest of the wood in the coach doesn't seem to have any kind of sealant, but seems to drink in the oil-based products (like Murphy's oil) I want to try to keep the new door "in sync" (kind of ruling out a polyurethan over-coat).
I'm an old hand at staining, and plan on using the back of the door as my test-bed to determine how it's taking the stain (I can use each of the four "border boards" if necessary). And in the end, because of the location (one of the darker places in the coach, low enough it's not really terribly visible, and will likely have dish towels hanging over it most of the time anyway) even if the stain doesn't come out as a 100.000% match, it's not likely to be noticeable.
I'm still looking at my options, and will post a photo of the finished product (still no update on when the drawer will ship).
