Almost finished but not bragging

[ricklab]

Almost done, started this in Jan. A bit more sanding and a finish. Glossy or semi ? I can't decide but leaning towards the glossy.

I had many mistakes, covered them up as best I could.  Big picture, 28 x 32.

What's not to be proud.  That is a work of art.  As for finish, I prefer semi gloss.

Wow Rick, what an amazing piece, it's definitely one to be proud of. For a piece like this, I prefer either a semi-gloss or flat finish. The problem with a gloss finish, is that it will highlight any and all flaws. I'm not saying that there is flaws in your work, but, with pieces like this it's almost impossible not to miss some little thing. I anxiously await seeing the completed piece, it should be outstanding.

With so many pieces it is difficult indeed to make every piece perfect to the next. I am amazed at how well you did. A tough job and guess what. People will look at this in awe and they won't believe their eyes that you actually made it. Don 't point out the errors to them, so they can just enjoy it and go home telling others about the unbelievable, wood piece they saw at your house. Display with pride

That is beautiful, you should be proud of it, thx for sharing RJ

[RangerJay]

That is an exceptional piece - and another vote for at least 3 coats of  semi-gloss (maybe more) - then buffed and polished to a soft lustre - you've made a really neat piece - one that someone is gonna wanna display for a long time..
