I've heard sanding to 600 is good for controlling blotch on cherry. Of course, you don't want to completely eliminate "blotch", or all that lovely figure would go to waste! As for the pulls, I like your idea of a dark brown wood. I favor cocobolo, as it has a reddish cast that seems like a good compliment to the cherry. I went to 220 with the prefinished side panel. The fronts looked like they might blotch a bit more when i hit them with mineral spirits maybe I'll take them to a high grit with this new flashy festool sander. If i go with wood pulls I'm drawing more of a blank on design then species. I looked through rockler and lee valley catalogs to see if anything caught my eye and everything looks to plain or too modern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 To me, this thing would look good with turned handles, maybe a flare at the ends. Seems like@Eric did something similar a while back??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chestnut Posted November 21, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Closer to finished but not quite there. I won't be able to experiment with handles for a bit. I have some apple in my basement that is dry that i forgot about I'm going to cut some experiments from that and see what happens. All i have left is corbels and handles. The end tables sitting next to it are temporary i enjoy them but my taste has matured please turn a blind eye on them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kinda threw the tv on there you make a good point. 18 minutes ago, treeslayer said: well done Drew!, kick back and relax as you watch that cherry turn even more beautiful. If any one is sharp enough to notice there is a slight color difference on the front. It will even out with time the drawers and the bottom part are all from the same board. I'm excited to see how this just keeps getting better with age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradpotts Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Looks great. Looks really nice with clean crisp lines. I also like the sapwood running down the middle it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
