   Very nice. Your matched top really sets of superb craftsmanship. Two questions: 1) what finish did you apply, and 2) have you built similar bedroom end tables? I'm looking for some design examples. Thank you kindly.

   I stained the sideboard with a 3/1 mixture of Watco medium walnut and cherry stain. I then applied a coat of 3/1 varnish/mineral spirits, followed by 3 coats of 50/50 varnish/mineral spirits, wet sanding between coats and a final coat of 3/1 varnish/mineral spirits.
   I've not made end tables as of yet.

   Stickley is one of my favorite styles, shaker my second. Thier utilitarian presence gives them a proud stance. The color is quiet pleasing.

   What a superior display of skill and craftmanship! Your eye for detail and taking advantage of the wood grain makes for an especially stunning piece.
