Bedroom furniture

General description

The request was for a headboard and two bedside cupboards to match in colour and style existing furniture in one of the spare bedrooms.  The wood was to be American Cherry , stained to match other pieces in the room.

Photo 4&5: The pair of cupboards sitting on  my bench in the workshop..  The finish is a fairly new product that goes by the name of  "brushing French polish" (http://www.mylands.co.uk/guide.html#b1). It  dries quickly smoothly and with "no lap". Here then is a major advantage over Danish Oil  that requires a good 24 hours to harden  off.  The surface will readily   withstand a hot mug of coffee and or spilt water.

Photo 6: Head board and cupboards insitu. True colour of wood is as in the pictures above.
