Here are the finished shots of the chest on chest and the single chest. After many, many hours of hand rubbing the finish onto each part of these two pieces, they are finally ready to be put to use. For the woodworkers in the group that would be interested in my tip for applying a great finish on an open pore wood like walnut that allows you to fill the pores and apply the finish all in a single step, send me an email and I'll let you in on a cool way to do it. This process made the finished walnut feel like glass.

This Web page incorporates a new technology that allows the viewer to be able to feel how smooth the finish on these chests really is. This works with any brand of Web browser software and any desktop computer. This "Virtual Touch" technology is easy to use. Simply put your hand up to your monitor screen and touch any part of the picture below. I think you'll agree, the finish is as smooth as glass ;-).
