Thanks all for the compliments - and for the encouragement/suggestions as I was completing the project.

FYI - Somehow messed up the link to the second update in the OP - so here it is:

An adventure worth having, that's for sure. The cherry really makes those curves come alive. It should age beautifully.
When I was young I sought the wisdom of the ages.  Now it seems I've found the wiz-dumb of the age-ed.

All I can say is I am in Awe
As of this time I am now teaching vets again.  If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet..  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Yeah - it does look a little like Cherry, but it is definitely Mahogany -  I think it could be the lighting. If you take  look at the unfinished chest in the prior posts it shows better as Mahogany.

It’s like a complete restoration of a classic car or complete house remodel, a lifetime achievement that nobody can take away from you. It is quite spectacular.

There are more than a few of us who can relate to the pucker factor when drilling those drawer fronts. Talk about 100% focus!
