That looks great, tons of very practical storage in a pretty package. You must have got quite a few bonus points from the LOYL :eusa_clap :eusa_clap
What did you finish with, you have such a nice uniform color between the different woods? What is the top, granite???

Yes, the top is granite. The drawer fronts are Ash, the table Maple and the plywood Birch. Everything was stained with Minway early american + maple + a topcoat of cherry. This matched the rest of the kitchen. Then I brushed on two coats of Minwax wipe on poly. actually, I wiped on the first coat, then brushed on the second. and some places a third. The wipe on really goes a long way using a brush.

My shop is so small you are looking at the final assembly/finish room. It is sitting on an uneven tile floor. Had to spend some time shimming to get it level.
