Beautiful piece! Excellent choice of grain patterns. I love everything about it.

Is this your own design or did you buy a plan?

Keggers,

It's my own design. I let the drawer depth (DVD storage) determine the cabinet height. It is 8" wider than a 46" TV (we didn't want a lot of apace on each side of the TV).

The ray flecks on this piece are beautiful! Nicely done.

Misson style is my favorite and you've captured it very, very well. Great piece. How did you finish it?

Thanks for the comments.

bluwoods,

I used Lowes Cabot Early American stain and Varathane Diamond Wood Finish (water based) for the clear coat. The Varathane was OK. I've gone back to General Finishes Arm-R-Seal on all my new projects. It's hard to mess up. You can brush it, or wipe it on with a cloth. The only down side is it's oil instead of water based.

Thanks Doug. I have experience with the GF Arm-R-Seal wipe on varnish.....good stuff. Marc has a nice DVD on the wipe on varnish subject as well...very informative. Thanks for the info.
