    I last replied that they were indeed from the same piece, but sadly my wife had an acident today and damaged the middle draw. I should have known better than to let her clean my workshop, dam it. She nocked it off the table and a corner broke off the front, so It's back to grind stone and make another one before I run out of maple.

    I agree - mine just shakes her head when she looks in the shed - it's a little messy like Einstein's desk

    Bummer on the mishap

    The grain seemed to swirl through the three drawers - hope it cones out ok

    It's been some time now and I just can't let you all wait till it's all done. I'm applying one coat per week at present as I don't get much time now in the workshop but I'm making progress. Here are two pics of some draws I just finished. They have six coats of Shellac, then finished with EEE and then a coat of traditional furniture wax and a buff. The rest is starting to look good also but not finished yet. Enjoy

    Looking great . The result justifies the effort you are putting into the finish.

    It's starting to sparkle!

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    And that's just the drawers. I love it when the finish is down and you see the rewards of all the effort.
    I make things, I just take a long time.
