Wow, that sure is nice work, Phil! The doors especially came out great. I think you said earlier what you were using for a finish, but can’t remember...Osmo?
Can’t wait to see the drawers in and top on...and maybe see it in person at some point!

Bill: appreciate the kind words!
Kevin: Thanks much! Yes the finish is Osmo Polyx Oil Clear Gloss. It really does not have much of a gloss, more like a satin. Yes you are cordially invited to see the finished product: wont predict when, hopefully sooner rather than later.

That looks really nice, Philip. Did you get the top bevel figured out?

Hank: Thanks! Just finished curved bevel on front and back. Tomorrow I tackle the 10º bevels on the ends. Stay tuned! Phil

Looking great! Looks like the finish is making the cherry pop.

Perfect! Can't beat a hand plane for some jobs.
