    Jatoba Blanket Chest Finished

    Here's a photo of the Jatoba chest finished.
    I used 4 coats of Sealacell clear. This finish is almost foolproof. I tried
    this product after seeing David Marks use it on just about everything.

    Very, very nice Greg. I second Lars' request for more details. I really like the lines of the legs, and the wood combination is great.

    Love the asian look it has with the arched legs. Nice curly maple also (it is maple, isn't it?).

    Holy cow Greg! That's one incredible chest! I would go on, but honestly I can't think of anything else to say about this piece.

    Oh, and I agree with Lars. You can't drop a bomb like that without the details.

    If it hasn't been said enough already, superb!
