Thumbs up Deacons' Bench

I made this for our home to put in the entry way. It is my own design and is Made out of Solid Cherry.I finished it using " Early American gel stain, and 4 coats of lacquer, and then rubbed and wax it.
There was a fair bit of router work on this project.Alot of detail you cannot see in the picture.

Cheers Hickory

Nice job Hickory. The design shows a lot of imagination. Nice detail. A lot of hard work, but it looks worth it.
