What happens here

After sanding all surfaces, thoroughly clean all cabinet frames, doors, and drawers to remove any remaining sawdust. Use a tack cloth or a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to ensure all dust is gone. For the cabinet frames, apply a dark wood stain using a rag. Work in small sections, applying the stain evenly and wiping off any excess immediately to prevent blotchiness and achieve a consistent color. For the cabinet doors and drawers, apply a clear polyurethane in a satin finish. Use a quality brush for smooth application. Apply one coat, allowing it to dry completely according to manufacturer instructions. The goal for the doors and drawers is to preserve their natural wood look while providing protection, so only a clear finish is used.

Goal: Apply first layers of finish: dark stain to frames, clear polyurethane to doors/drawers.
