Wood Planning

Im working in the shop all week staining some more cherry. There have been a few detail add-ons requested, so more material is needed. Im also working with the mantle, which has a nice twist in it that needs to be worked out.
Thought Id keep everyone updated, and will post more soon!

Just an update - Im making progress on the staining of the cherry. No pictures this time. I have at least another week of staining yet, and then I might be able to think about pulling onto the jobsite!

Here are the newest pics of the arched valences going in!
With the finish done on the valences, Ive installed each one in its respective location. It really is starting to take shape now. With the valences in, I can put in the surrounding flat and fluted trim also, and this will finish it out. Its really becoming a beautiful piece now, and I just love this cherry!
