End of phase #1

All the parts and pieces are sanded and prepaired for the finish. Now I go Into spraying mode.
I first apply a Lacquer based sealer that I have specially mixed to add a little bit of tint which gives the wood a little bit of a warm tone. (if I were doing a maple or something that required a "water clear" finish I would use a completely different product)
After the sealer is dry I hand sand with a 220 Grit sand paper, vacuum off the dust and spray with a Conversion Varnish. (a two part mix of varnish and catalyst as a hardener)

Picture
On the exposed facs and surfaces I actually apply two coats of the varnish, one right after the other while they are still in the spray booth.
 The finish I prefer is a "dull sheen" which gives a nice hand rubbed look but the protection of a sprayed top coat.

After the finish has a day or two to cure I install the drawer slides and drawers and this project is ready for installation.
In this case The client wanted to hold off on the door and drawer fronts, and some of the trim details till a later date.  (I'm glad that I was able to accomodate them with this, try to do that with another cabinet manufacturer) 
"So we Loaded up the Truck and moved to Beverly" Jerico that is! And after a long day this was the result.  Phase # 1 Complete.

    I've pretty much had my hands on wood for the most part of my Life. Started in High school, on Marthas Vineyard Mass.Worked under a Father and son Partnership that taught me the valuable foundation of what High End work really is.
    I've taken those fundimentals and put my own spin on things. Today (some 36 years ago as I write this )My shop is located in Northern New Hampshire, where I have followed my philosophy of doing high quality work and delivering more than the
    customer expects.
