I made this from a long piece cherry offcut that I’ve had sitting around for ages. Here’s a better picture of the interesting bit:

I’m honestly not thrilled with the finish. I thought I’d sanded out all the little ‘scales’ the planer leaves, but many came back when I put the oil on.
Ahhh, nice. Nothing quite matches woodworking for trial and error! I’ve built a couple myself and each one gets closer to perfect, but not there yet!
Here’s what I’ve got. Nothing too special but I love my Sheraton.
