Beautiful craftsmanship and result. Even though the chest looks extremely well made I am just as impressed with the finish. How did you do it?

Thank you for your comments. It was based on Peter Turner’s chest, but with a few differences. The top is not square, is rounded on the front and the sides taper towards the back. The panels are not solid, veneer on the outside and cedar inside. The finish is blond shellac, 3 coats on the chest and 5 on the top. And then sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper. The last coat contains more alcohol than shellac and I use a pad.
