I actually started this before Christmas. Progress went quick until I got to the finish. Then last 3 weeks, the rains and humidity have been extreme, making it impossible to spray. In the last 4 weeks we eclipsed 38 inches of rain. As I write this it is raining...... again ........ . The delays allowed me to stump a couple of trees, repair the plumbing, rewire the 220 lines for my welder and trim up the yard.
Anyway, built this for my wife. It is Sapele top and front and white lacquer on the sides and back. The trim moulding under the top is Silky Oak, locally milled. I still have some touch up and final adjusting. I'll wait until I get it in to our bedroom to do that.
Roughly, 35"tall, 20" inches deep and 86" long. I built with what I have on hand. The pulls are what my wife picked off Amazon. One thing that happened was the wood dust that got on the drawers started to mold. The wood itself is sealed and oiled. That was something new to me, never seen that before. Easy fix brushed off and cleaned with alcohol.
The front and top finish is clear lacquer, I wet sanded the top to 1500 and rubbed it out.
