Impressive yes it is. Mahogany is rich in color and warm for the eyes. Once you hit it with a Poly it just POPS as your door does. A labor of love

Yes, applying the first coat of finish is my favorite part.

@Steve M @Bruce Pearson   Not to be out done by Bruce or Steve M.   I thought I would post a photo of one of my finest wood working projects.........The Gooney Bird cutting board.   It did have a mahogany eye ball but it fell out a long time ago.  My 90 year old mother keeps hiding it, however I have discovered all her hiding places and always return it to it's place of prominence........on the island counter top.  Even though it's size and design is totally worthless as cutting board...........this valued family antique is probably about 50 years old and is the reason I got a C in wood shop and started taking Home Economics courses.   :grin:

It looks familiar, was it ever in Fine Woodworking by any chance?

Awesome that you still have it. None of my early woodworking projects survived the fireplace.

So nearly a year after I started the outdoor kitchen, I'm calling the construction done. I finished up the trim about a week ago and the electrician came today to finish the remaining outlets. This will be a pic heavy post! This is the sink and bar area. The sink is huge and large enough to soak a grill grate. Sliding the refrigerator in today was very satisfying.

Here are some shots of the backsplash. One piece that runs the length of the bar with all inlaid features. I can't even remember how many individual steps were involved.
