Hi Derek,
My answer may be too late for your project, but I’m responding in case anyone else searches for a similar question. This advice was given to me by my woodworking instructor at a course I took: Clear, water-based (not oil) polyurethane.
Though it doesn’t have the natural appeal of other finishes, it sure does the trick. I made a poplar box and it looked exactly the same in tone after finishing. It was a milky white colour just like the natural poplar, no yellowing at all.
I’m curious, how did the white staining of your maple turn out?
