yes you can. If you want a high gloss shine use "Famowood" one coat is all it takes.
Yes, I tried to find the "non-yellowing" kind, gave up and used the normal type. It has held up perfectly and not yellowed.
Yes...you can use a polyurethane finish to seal them. Just follow the instructions on the poly to make sure you are coating it properly for best results.
Yes you can butt I would recommend polycrylic instead. You will get the same protection without the yellowing.
polyurethane tends to yellow over time but yes ma'am you can.

polycrylic is best. I have used many times over chalk paint and it doesn't yellow but does protect the finish.
