It's a done deal. Two coats of stain and five coats of polyurethane. Fine steel wool worked between each coat - lots of elbow grease involved. I likes it:

Put Eager Allan Crow on it. Pottery made. He's rude, crude, ugly, and obnoxious. Just our style. Pretty cool I thought.
nice work....
I like it! 5 coates, you earned your keep on that!
Thanks fellas. That AC/furnace intake on the right - I plan on making some sort of shutter on a hinge to cover it up. I think it will look good. Those things are difficult to make, believe me. And I consider myself a decent craftsman. On a downstairs bathroom, I made a double-door enclosure with full length shutters as a door, which is quite unique. We'll see at it goes. Kulula fresh shrimp on angel hair pasta this evening followed up with fresh cheesecake. Live is good.
You done good Randy. Fine workmanship for sure.
Looks great Randy
I guess I'll have to pick a chilly day to come over so I can see it in action. It really is nice and thanks to your effort it's probably smooth as glass as it should be. It takes all the coats and the rubbing to raise the the grain and seal it to make it as smooth as a baby's behind as the saying goes. Great job Randy.

Very nice job brother. I've got several projects going right now as well. TIME CONSUMING!!! to say the very least... but well worth it in the end.
Looks great!! Ive been into woodworking most of my life....I can hold my own in the woodshop.....but I HATE finishing!! Good for you I wouldnt have had the patience to put 5 coats. But it pays off in the end! Very nice.
Your eager allen crow sitting there looking a lil grumpy and surly kinda reminds me of our ""Broom Hilda"

Believe it or not she is a vacuum cleaner cover. Tacky as hell I know but so are we.
Love that vacuum cleaner cover. Really a neat idea.
Hilarious Cappy! Tacky from the word go....loved it!
Here's the double shutter door I made for the bathroom I mentioned earlier:

Ernie insisted on posing. These are very difficult to make (at least for me), we'll see how it goes with my addition plans. Opened door:

Thought I'd share what I had in mind. Never mind Ernie
I believe Ernie is a photo hound.
Nice job on the doors Randy, I like the glass knobs. They add a touch of class and antiquity.

Thanks Gene, coming from you that means a lot. Everything done here is made to look refinished, not the "modern" look with sheetrock, carpet, etc. Well, with exception of a tacky plastic pink flamingo or two I have placed along the driveway :).
I love the fireplace and the doors. I can tell that you put your heart into these projects. That fireplace is beautiful.
The fire place is beautiful. The mantle is fine. Great job Randy and Anne.
