Very nice. What is the finish? Poly or spray laquer?

The finish that I used was 6 coats of Orange shallec, sanded after the first two to knock down the grain, then the other 4 this was a 1.5 pound cut. Then two coats of Poly, sanded inbetween.Thanks for looking.

F,
Even though I'm a hardwoods forester (and part-time wood worker) I have never been partial to oak, however, your combination of oak and walnut (with its sapwood) is truly an inspired use of the walnut species. I think that the furniture and cabinet industries should take a clue from your work to inspire consumer desire for (currently out of favor) oak. A historical anecdote regarding walnut literally carrying oak; Historical accounts of river-borne transportation of logs here in Eastern Kentucky describe how yellow-poplar and walnut were bouyant enough to be floated down the river, however, if denser species such as oak were to be so transported, they had to be attached to yellow-poplar or walnut logs to keep them from sinking.
Keep up the excellent work.
