Hello

Well I finally got the desk done I've been building off and on. Still have to put the finish on it. The sides are all tounge and grooved and the panels are all book matched. Used biscuits on everything, even the face frames, drawers, and handles attached to the fronts. Made the handles too, just couldn't find anything pre-made that would look right on it....

Its also made to break down so its easy to move....

    Well I did the bottom of one of the pullout shelves in this:

    http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=23960-24-40900&lpage=none&cm_mmc=search_gps-_-gps-_-gps-_-Minwax%20Pint%20Wipe-On%20Poly%20Gloss

    I did three coats, sanded with 220 between, last coat I steel wooled and then some Johnsons paste wax. Seemed to work pretty good.....

    A clear coat finish is gonna look awesome. Just curious if you were considering a stain/poly look. Not familiar with that Min Wax product, but sounds like a great look, and painless application. Your all over the prep:D

    Sweet desk!
    Can't wait to see it finished.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
