Nice work. Major upgrade!

So…do you travel?
 
Put me on the list as a member of yet another one of these expensive hobby clubs. I haven’t crossed the woodworking/boating barrier yet, but I like where your heads at, I think it’s time

keeps me busy making stuff at home though. Landed some beautiful local walnut last month

thanks! I didn’t, we bought them from a shop on Etsy, but I just checked that link and they look identical for the same price

doing an L shaped hickory table for the home office next followed by an 8’ walnut console table for behind our sofa. I need legs for both those projects so I’ll browse them for some options
 
Here's it all finished in Poly Acrylic. I think it makes it look more like a piece of furniture now rather then a cabinet face.

Man that looks great! How was the application of the Poly Acrylic? I used it on my office cabinets and really struggled getting it to finish out right; it kept lifting the wood grain and wouldn't lay out very well. So For my kitchen and bath cabinets I've moved back to oil based polyurethane... These are finished in Satin Polyurethane. The light colored master bath cabinet is Cypress and the kitchen Hickory. At this point I want to get it all done and on to boating.....

First used sander sealer which stops the grain from raising. Put Poly acrylic straight from the can into a HVLP paint gun from Harbor freight and shot it . No brush marks and bubbles. When ever using a water borne finish a sealer is really important.

The winter projects continue - another epic walnut slab slowly turning into a console table. 8’ long and 2” thick.

Here in mid Ohio we are fortunate to have Keim Lumber in Amish country. They have a huge wood selection on top of their exotic woods. If you ever need something they will ship. The picture only shows a small view of their domestics.
