Thanks again to all for the kind words, means a lot. Yes retirement is great. Now I can do what I want with my time and not answer to anyone but myself. I had no idea that I would be able to create such heirlooms for my kids and yes that was what I had in mind when I started working with my brother. I thank him for some of my tools and God for my good health and ability to use my hands and mind though from time to time I will lose a brain cell or two. Thanks again for the kind words and the help along the line. You can be sure that I will be coming back for help. I start on a router cabinet this afternoon and if the plywood and faceframes turn out as I hope they will I will be trying my hand at replacing the kitchen cabinets. Wish me luck. Lorraine

Thanks Roger. Wish I could have retired earlier but this is good. Headed out to the shop now to start on a router cabinet for my new PorterCable. So much to do and so much to learn. Lorraine

The finish is golden pecan and poly for protection. I seem to find myself using only golden pecan it also looks good on cherry.

You should also try golden oak it will really make the grain pop on all kinds of wood.
