picked up the walnut for this project yesterday while i was getting the red oak for the bathroom towel cabinet. after marking off, and presanding to 220 grit, mounted it into the cnc machine, and started the program. the results for this run were quite good, with no details lost. after a bit of vacuuming, and light sanding, trimmed the board to size. then brought it home, and hit it with the blo, really brought out the figuring. next will be 3 coats of clear shellac, and paste wax.
