Nicely done. The cherry will age into a shade and look good with the walnut. Thanks for the post.

Hey Chris,

We were in the same class. This is how I finished it:

One coat boiled linseed oil, then let it sit for one week
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then lightly buff with 0000 steel wool
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then buff with 0000 steel wool until surface is smooth to touch
One coat Waterlox, let sit for 24 hours, then buff with 4f pumice, followed by rottenstone.

Bill-
I clicked on the Tim who made the comment instead of you and then discovered my error!

I was thinking the same. So that's good to hear. 4f pumice, followed by rottenstone I'll have to look into.

thanks!

That's great looking. What style is that called that joins the face of the drawer to the sides? Dovetail? I'm still learning.

Hey Willie,

That is a dovetail, more specifically a half blind dovetail, since it is only visible from the sides of the drawer, but not the front.

Nightstand? Don't hide this in the bedroom unless, of course, you have a lot of people through there!
This is sweet. Elegant with simple, clean lines… excellect choice of woods and treatments.
Kudos!
