Fresh off the bench. Still need to wipe it down and give it a coat of wax, but here it is. Hope she likes it

Guy, Great job. I really like the grain on the panels. The bracket feet look really good also. Craig

I can't imagine why "she" wouldn't like it as it is excellent. If you would be so kind as to tell us what woods were used Guy... I would be most appreciative.

Well done stem to stern....

The woods are walnut and Bubinga. The finish is several coats of #1 cut shellac, wet sanded with 400 grit. Several more coats of #3 cut f shellac. Wet sanded again, then 5-6 coats of Deft lacquer.

Wow just isn't a strong enough word! If I could build my wife something that excellent, I could probably stay out of the dog house for over a month!
