Galley Lower Cabinet Frame Varnished - Finally

Postby Classic Finn » Sat Jun 16, 2007 11:34 am

Well I finally succeeded in getting the Galley Lower Cabinet frame varnished to the color I wanted. It took some doing and matching but I cant get any closer than this...Success at last...Now they match the counter and mahogany walls.. :phew: :icedtea: :shake hands:

Here are some photos

Looks good. :thumbsup:
Its a really nice rich color, I like it. :applause:
Trying to get a particular color & match it to another color can be a real bear, I've done that sort of thing before with varying amounts of success. :lol:
