Progress, finally

i've been working away at the cabinetry. it is slow going to say the least. however, check out all the doors and drawers i've stripped, sanded, and am about to stain. tonight i got the first coat of stain on the fronts. i know that the color looks sort of similar to the existing color, but really, it is better. and not mucked up with 30 years of scum. if it turns out as well as it might, i'll be way too impressed with myself. there are still a couple more doors to finish, and the cabinets themselves. however, today was a big step in the right direction.

most of the doors, pre sanding


the drawers pre-sanding


the doors, after a coat of colonial maple . they definitely need another coat or two pre-polyurethene

the drawers after a coat of maple on the fronts and sides. still need to re-paper the insides though. also note my cool bike.
