Those look great. I dread the day that we have to replace our fridge and I have to try to match the finish on the rest of the kitchen cabinets.

Not just the finish, but the profiles. In our kitchen, I didn't have router bits with the same profile as the rest of the cabinets but the refrigerator more-or-less stands alone so I could use profiles that are close but not exactly the same. The rest of our kitchen is natural cherry so matching the finish (once the cherry darkens) was easy.

[I'll add this picture for John T. - I took this picture without a flash and I think it shows the amount of gloss better than the first picture I put in this thread. After I took this picture I rubbed the panels down with mineral oil and extremely fine steel wool to knock down the shine a bit. Also, to remove a few dust nubs that got into the finish.]
[Also, I think Jim Becker once commented that your wood selection has a major influence on the final product - and I'd very much agree with him. I was fortunate to be able to find this figured cherry at regular cherry prices.]

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
WOW stunning
