Finish Inside of Cedar Chest?

How should I finish the inside of a cedar chest so as not to lose the aroma?

Michael Dresdner: You shouldn’t. If you want the aroma, leave the inside of the chest unfinished. In fact, if it starts to lose its distinctive smell, lightly sand it to rejuvenate the aroma.

Richard Jones: Leave it bare and occasionally sand it if you wish to reactivate the aroma.
