blanket chest/engagement gift

[Mike McCann]

I made this "Norm" blanket chest for my brother who just got engaged this month. It is all cherry. I finished with blo then garnet shellac then used GF antique cherry stain and sprayed with Target USL. I was very pleased how it turned out. It is darker than I like but he wanted it dark. Any comments are welcome

Very nice piece, Mike. And a great gift!

Very nice - and I think the color turned out great! Once that cherry ages a little, it will take on some real warmth.
