Very Beautiful. Great color and a nice finish. Wish I had some wood like that around here.

Very nice, normally I don’t care for pine, but this is very nice…great colors and finish. Great job.

Wonderful woodworking Carl. Old pine is so much more distinctive than the new “quick grow” stuff. Beautiful pieces.

Nice joinery, great finish.

Beautiful job and even better that you made it with reclaimed wood.

Thanks for the great comments. I used Minwax wipe on poly and light sanded between with 320 grit for the first 6 coats and used 600 grit for the last 3 for a total of nine. I was going to put more on but got sick of sanding. Besides, my wife said she was going to wring my neck if those things weren’t in the living room before the 1st as I’ve only been working on em for six months. Happy New Year!

I like it all – the wood color, grain effect, finish and design. Oh, did I say that the finish is excellent.

Dorje, Gary and Bob…Thanks. I was a little surprised to see some recent comments on this as I thought that it had been buried under the massive numbers of projects from all the new members. Jeez, LumberJocks is one hell of a woodworking phenomenon ain’t it? Ya’ll have a great weeK!
