described and showed how my friend Terry West and I built an oak cabinet for a problematic area in his home. When last seen in mid January, the cabinet had one coat of dye on most parts and was leaving my place in the back of Terry’s van.

Terry held a party on Friday night and one of the features at the party was the new cabinet and we both received a lot of nice compliments. After Terry took it home, he applied another coat of water based dye, two coats of Lee Valley clear shellac, two coats of Old Masters (natural) gel stain, and three coats of Deft Clear Wood Finish (semi-gloss). I was amazed at just how good it looked. The cabinet is certainly the best furniture that I have ever been involved in making.

I will display three final pictures of the cabinet (with the numbering carrying on from the first two threads).
