December 22, 2025Dec 22 Beautiful work Rusty! The UV in sunlight will darken cherry wood. Did you account for this with your finish or leaving it natural. Edited December 22, 2025Dec 22 by MrRick

Did not take any of that into account. My wife told me a couple of days ago so I didn’t have time for my normal finish. This has five coats of spray on lacquer. It drys fast and can meet tight deadlines.
