    You are a craftsman to create such elegant work. It is a piece of beauty.
    Rustic? Well, no. That was not my intention!

    Happy wife, happy you!

    I'm thinking if you have heirs, there will be a brawl over it.

    As others have said- beautiful sash. Did you make the crown with molding planes as well?

    Yes, Liam, I roughed out the profile with a plow plane and then used a #16 round I got from Jim Bode tools for $30.molding.jpg

    The finish looks like naturally aged Cherry. Did you leave it in the sun to get that beautiful color or did you use a stain/dye?

    Art, I handplaned most of the wood, brushed 2 layers of just over 1lb cut clear shellac, sanded with stearated 400 grit paper, wiped on 3 layers of 1lb shellac, then 2 coates of Minwax paste wax. I took a pic on my iphone portrait setting & I think the lighting worked out. For the doors I got some quartersawn cherry that was stacked for many years & hand a tight grain & deeper color throughout.

    Beautiful work. It will only improve with age.

    Lee, Charlie...thanks for the positive feedback. I started this in June & enjoyed the mostly handtool work over the next 7 months. I am glad it all came together before the year ended. Happy New Year!

  14. Very nice. I like how you combined clean lines with a reference to the past.
