I just finished this blanket chest made of solid cherry. I still need to buff it out with 0000 steel wool but won't do it for another week to let it cure. I used raised panel construction because I didn't have enough cherry long enough to do it differently. But I thought it came out ok. Used BLO, shelac then waterlox for the finish. thanks for looking.
