Entryway bench and shelf

A little of everything happened today! I spent most of the day planing down more white oak for the other side of the arched door. This process takes time because white oak is so dense, and it does not just zip through the planer!

At the end of the day, Ive applied a coat of poly to the new cabinet doors, and also to the shelf and bench, which are now black. This particular peice is distressed, as you can see. When I painted it, I backed out the screws, and reset them when the paint was dry. This leaves the screw head exposed, giving it more decoration.

Ive also shortened up the spray booth so it fits on the work table. It was too unmanagable the way it was, and it is still effective being smaller.
