Very nice, looks great.

That took some work! The big jobs are really satisfying when they’re done. Nice job!

Very nice Charles! The color is beautiful. The lamb’s tongue, fluted columns, and trim add elegance and grace to the project. Well worth the additional time invested!

simply sensational. Nice work there SIR Charles. What stain/finish did you apply?

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

This is fabulous! Very professional.

I love the shelf standards, very old school. Many antiques I have seen use this system. I love it!

Great and beautiful construction. A very nice piece of furniture.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I really appreciate it. The customer really likes it and that is the greatest reward.

As far as the finish goes, it was fairly simple and it turned out great. It has Minwax Maghonay stain with lacquer sanding sealer, three coats sprayed, and two coats of Sherwin Williams Dull Rubbed Effect Lacquer finish. I did use some “0000” steelwool to polish some.

I treated the exposed end grain with a coat Minwax wood finish before staining. After it was wiped off I let it dry over night and touched it up the next day.

-- God makes the wood beautiful--I simply rearrange it to make it more useful, hopefully.

Charlie, Another example of some fine workmanship. The fluted pillasters are great and the chamfered corners really set the piece off. Great work as always!

BEAUTIFUL MAJESTIC PIECE Great vertical lines and arches, its nice how you broke up the horizontal flow by changing elevations on both ends. The vertical supports are masterfully shaped, I like your choise of shelf supports better than any I seen to this day.
