Here is a chifferobe I just finished up for my aunt. Made of red oak and
stained with a mixture of General gel stain brown mahogany and georgian cherry. As much as I hate staining and prefer a natural finish (she wanted a dark reddish finish), the gel stain at least made the job bearable. I still need to install a hanger rod in the right side, but otherwise it's ready for delivery! Eric |

You don't want to wind up like the old computer programming guru who, when finding his product was not being embraced by users and told that he should have consulted with them prior to development to find out what they needed emphatically stated, "I don't need to consult with users to find out what users need! I tell users what they need!" I still need to install a hanger rod in the right side, but otherwise it's ready for delivery! Looks good. Good job, I'm betting that's going to make someone very happy Eric -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |

I agree with you about a natural finish, but when it comes to red oak, I agree with your aunt. Excellent job. |
