Well its finished. Some things turned out ok, some not. I know now what I need to work on, things not to do. and things I should always remember. All in all it was a learning thing. This is the first piece of furniture I have ever made. I am pretty well sold on wipe on poly. Even with the high humidity and terrible rain storms we have had here in the past 2 weeks I am happy with the results as far as finish. I did have a revision on my plans while working on the top. I noticed all this waisted space between the top drawer and the top. Hmmm. Now I have to give credit where credit is due here. My brother noticed this and mentioned why not hinge the top and and a place for small items. I tell you what, its handy to have a big brother around.
Now for more pics.
Ok now for the suggestions and any tips that will my make my next project better.

Nope that looks pretty cool to me. I like the color like it is. I would’nt worry too much about the empty space. It looks good overall. mike

Well thanks Mike. I have to wonder about the finish when I started. I had never used the wipe on poly but it really turned out nice. A lot better than the pic would show.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the kind words. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. I’m outta here. May have to go help sandbag. This part of Indiana is getting ready for a 100 year flood. Thanks again all.

This is a nice box that not only looks good but it is quite practical. I just started using wipe on poly as well and enjoy using it.
Thanks for the post.
