I thought it was cherry when i first looked at it. You did a good job on the finish. The press looks great, Very good build.

To finish the linen press I used Minwax pre-stained wood conditioner prior to staining. The wood conditioner penitrates into the wood which allows for a more even stain.
For the stain, I used Sherwin Williams wood classics fruitwood oil stain and mixed in 3123 oak mantel which comes from Sherwin Williams formula book.
For the finish, I used Sherwin Williams waterborne polyurethane varnish, satin clear. This finish is easy to use because you can add extra coats without lightly sanding after one hour and up to I believe six hours. I ended up lightly sanding after the second coat anyways to maintain a smooth surface.
