   Beautiful work! I'd love to finish my next project in that espresso color. What finish did you use here?

   Thanks for your kind comment. I used General Finish water based espresso, sanded the maple using 120, 180 and then 220 and applied one coat of stain very heavy with foam brush.

   After stained dried I placed a soft rag between a wood block and 320 sand paper and finish came out smooth as glass. I then put 4 coats of Minwax wipe on poly sanding between coats with 1000 grit abrasion pad . After final poly coat dried I rubbed down with plain sheet of copy paper.
