This is a project i started over a year ago, but twin beds got in the way. Except for the curly maple its made from wood left over from other projects, so the legs are mahogany and the side panels are luan. I stained the panels to match the legs. The finish is padded on shellac for everything except the curly maple, and thats General Finshes gloss oil based urethane brushed on. I did have a problem with the urethane in that it would not brush without leaving bush marks. I have done this before and use a good brush without problems, but after sanding off 4 times, I thinned the finish and all went well. The finish was rubbed down to between gloss and semi gloss using Merka abrasives and a light touch on the rubber sanding block. I received help from family members here on the use of these Merka abrasives they worked really well, thank you very much. Photos are not may best talent, but heres 3. Have different drawer pull on order.
