That looks like it took alot of elbow grease Frank. Nothing like rubbing out shellac with steel wool to get the blood pumping!! Great work!

I will post an album of photos on the group page, but for those that can see this, here it is. This was the most difficult one I've done yet, and I did it in the shortest span of weeks. Lot's of long days near the end and one span of more than two days without sleep or even leaving my shop except to take care of the obvious.

Look Ma... No Veneer!
5 coats of shellac rubbed out with steel wool and nearly ready for paint.
The paint came out better than I had hoped.
