    That came out very nice.

    What material was used for the shelves?

    How about the finish?

    Anything you'd do differently?

    Very nice indeed. 5 hours doesn't seem too bad to me.

    Beautiful! I bet you're glad to get them out of your shop.

    Nice! That'll make for quite an impressive hall/entryway. Did you go with a water or oil based paint?

    Looks good. I am also a fan of a stained countertop with painted casework. I've done that a few times. Same color schemes too.

    What's a bookcase like that run a linear foot in Fenton?

    We have the same wide belt sander!

    That's just excellent work Frank. I'm going to file this for a project I got on the honey do list for beside the huge fireplace in our greatroom.
    Again...nice work!

    Agree that's beautiful. In your house or was it a bespoke piece? Are those drawers, doors or hinged bins on the bottom?

    It was made for a customer .Sealed with white vinyl lac sealer and then sprayed with an off white latex paint. The doors on the base are hinged normally .It cost the customer about $400 a linear ft.

    That is just gorgeous. I get down your way fairly often as I'm addicted to Cracker Barrel pancakes and that's the closest one to me.
