I apologize in advance for a painted project, I know paint is offensive to many but had to build this at the request of wife.
She has inherited several pieces of China, silverware and crystal from her mother and grandmother. Requested a lighted hutch to display her pieces. This unit was a compilation of several hutch/cabinet pictures she pulled from the internet. I built a solid cherry top and finished it with several coats of Waterlox. For years I have only used oil-based paint for furniture/cabinet projects. I finally gave in to the Green movement and tried water-based SW Pro Classic Acrylic Alkyd on this project. I was actually pleasantly surprised how well this paint performed. Although it sprayed on a little "thick" with my LVLP gun, it leveled nicely and was nearly impossible to make a run on the vertical pieces. It does have a "harder" finish than other water products I have tried, almost as good as oil based.
