Good job. I love mission style furniture as well. Nice finish too. Welcome to LJs.

Super job and impressive finish! I’ve never used gel stains – but your project may inspire me to try.

Looks classic. Should last a few lifetimes and still be in style.

-- Life is about choices. You can spend a lot of money on furniture and have really nice furniture; Or you can spend a lot on tools and have even more expensive, crappy furniture. I made my choice.

Wow,

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments. It is appreciated.

I’ll be checkingout some of your projects over the weekend.

Mission style furniture requires really good proportion to make them look balanced – great job look is classic and I know you will enjoy them for many years to come. Love the mission style – go for the mortise and tenon joints – I made the change after being afraid for years – really makes it easy to build. I was totally surprised as to how easy the M&T is to do. Gives you an excuse to buy more tools! Your joints look great – Great looking project! Keep it up!
