Here is the entertainment center I just finished. I loved it before I put the finish on it and I still like it but not as much. Actually; after the first coat of oil based dye it was beautiful but too light to match our other furniture so I tried to darken it and everything went haywire. now its an uneven color but not as bad as it looks in the picture because of the flash.

Its a bad picture.

Its 41" wide and 30" high. All recycled pine fronts, top and sides

All of my joints came out perfect. I just need a book on finishing.

No matter what. I still say its a lot better than the old entertainment center (shown on the right).

Keith, not a bad job at all! I think it turned out well, and while you may not be pleased with the finish - most will not notice.

BTW, your prior entertainment center "rocked!" (Just had to throw that in):D

Nice Keith... I don't see the concern over the finish as you do as it looks fine to me.
