First of all Greene and Greene is my favorite style of furniture. Your craftsmanship certainly showed on this build! Absolutely enjoyed every second of this build!

[@lesmasonwoodworks]

Thank you very much. I appreciate you watching.

Great to find a new craftsman... Your work is highly detailed and creative unfortunately I couldn't hear your explanations. Be helpful with a clip-on mic. Loved the finished piece... Something we never see here in Australia.

[@lesmasonwoodworks]

Thanks for watching. You are right about the microphone. Been kicking something like that around.

I am a sucker for anything Arts and Crafts. Our home is full of Arts and Crafts details, frames, table lamps and furniture. All the 2nd fix woodwork plus many doors are shop made out of European oak. As I sit here, I’m looking at a cherry bookcase with many Greene and Greene details - again made in my shop. My wife and I spend many happy days visiting authentic Arts and Crafts houses here in England. Skill is universal whilst taste is personal. So, personally, I would have stayed with cherry for the drawer fronts; but I particularly like the shaped drawer fronts. Many of my pieces feature the cloud detail but I have to admit that I had not thought of using it for drawer or door fronts - that will be on my next A&C. Again, no criticism intended or implied but a few “differences”. When I made my bookcase, I could use a Morticer. Now, my body won’t let me and so, I go with dominoes. I make the plug holes either on a morticer (just a couple at a time before I have to give up) or the square hole punch by Veritas. I use either ebony or bog oak for my plugs. Clearly, neither Greene and Greene or Morris or Gordon Russell or Barnsley or whoever used poly varnish. I don’t know about G&G, but looking at detail at my originals, I think it probable it was a shellac sanding sealer and then paste wax. Like most woodworkers, I don’t have a dedicated finishing room. So, I want a finish which cures quickly so that I can reclaim my bench and prevent dust contamination plus, ideally, needing only one coat. So, I now use 2 pack hard wax oil. Late last year, the Wood Whisperer published a YT video reviewing 2 pack HWO. Well worth a look. His overall winner was Natura Onecoat. I had never tried it - not yet over here in the UK - but they were kind enough to send me a sample. Love it. One coat gives a durable mid-level sheen and, within an hour of applying, I can carefully move the piece to one side. It does cost more per can but a little goes a long, long way. The makers say over 55 square metres per litre. I think that’s an underestimate. This week, I finished a half moon table and used only 125ml for both sides of the top. I’d really recommend you trying it out. I’ve subscribed to your channel and excited to see what you build next

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I'll check out the Wood whispers video. Finishing is one of those things I never quit looking at.

I love this , I'm partial to this style and you did a great job on it ! The only thing I didn't like is the door rattle which can be easily remedied with some shims behind the panel. It's beautiful !

Hi. Beautiful design and execution on this piece. Is it your own design or from plans? I always enjoy seeing fellow woodworkers using tools I use! It somehow lends credence to my decision to buy THAT tool. I believe we have the same router, orbital sander and band saw. As an aside, yours may be the first workbench I have seen made from cherry.

[@lesmasonwoodworks]

Thanks and thank you for watching. The piece is my own. This one is the fifth one of this basic design I've made.

[@mobareini4572]
