Glued up panels for the shelves. 2nd coat on the doors. 2nd coat on the drawers fronts. The shelf panels have a little bit of glue residue at the seam. A cabinet or card scraper makes quick work of this. Sapele has some characteristics like ribbon, reversing grain, and so forth. Most of this I take as character and embrace. Every now and then there is a grain anomaly that causes a lighter or darker spot in just the wrong place for me. I had a half a dozen of these lighter spots in prominent areas. Enter the touch-up pen. I have a variety of colors. What this maker calls "cherry" seems to match this finish the best. If I am going to do this sort of fix I do it early on. That way the fix is captured under the layers of finish and becomes basically invisible. And here's four coats on the verticals. I am going to take a break to run to the store for SWMBO. I hope to add coats to more parts when I return . . . ever onward! -
I have a complete set of Popular Mechanics encyclopedias from 1959. It's fun to browse through every now and then, but they are mostly just cool decoration. They do look good on a shelf. -
FWIW the Wood Whisperer Guild has a door course for $79 but they have sales pretty often. Obviously the course door is more complex then your pic above but the base concepts are there for building a door, the jamb, and hanging it.

No I am winding down but still put in about 60 hrs a week between the two positions. Getting closer probably a couple more years but we shall see.
