It's a little scratch and dent given it's made out of offcuts, scraps and extras from other projects but I think it came out okay. Three coats of fake "tung oil" finish and it came up to a nice warm semi-gloss, and ambered up the pine enough to take the edge off the grain.

Yeah I'm going on a bit of a victory lap here, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.

Another request for making the same project out of an exotic hardwood from another hemisphere. Why would I build anything out of mahogany when the state I live in is lousy with black cherry?
