I am making a knife drawer that has a removable cutting board o top of
it. I have the stain picked out. Should I stain the inside of the
drawer the same as the outside? At home my kitchen cabinets seem to
just have clear on the inside. Is this the most acceptable practice?
Should the inside of the compartment the drawer goes into be stained or
clear?

Very quickly over time, the repeated banging, scraping and abrasion of the
utensils inside the drawer are going to visually damage the stain inside the
drawer making it look worn. That same damage done to a clear finish is a lot
less noticeable.

I leave all my drawers natual in color. Staining typically darkens an
already dark drawer and the drawer tends to stink like stain longer.
