Excellent work friend! Everything about this piece seems very considered and I love the continuous grain across the drawer faces. I cannot wait to see this piece finished.

Thank you for noticing that. The biggest trick there is keeping track of which face is which, especially on that little septum between the drawers.

Well here it is.

Absolutely stunning! What finish did you go with? I love the angles on the top too.

Thanks!

That's Minwax polyurethane, thinned 50/50 with paint thinner and wiped on.

There's this lovely spot of chatoyancy on the top I need to get a detail shot of.
