I just crown, crest, then poly over 4 coats.
I use water base poly, the oil base poly turns a little yellow.

Stain, fine steel wool, poly, steel wool again, cap, very light SW, crest, multiple poly coats.
That's where I'm at right now.

What is the advantage of applying a coat or two of poly before doing the cresting? Do you get an additional depth of colour or do you find it to be more durable?

It smoothes the surface to be crested, and removes the chance of the stain messing with your cresting.

If you are just crowining or creating over stain the paint may bleed without some sealing of the stained portion.
