Thanks - I appreciate it ... the crown molding did add a "finished" look to it. It should also blend nicely with the kitchen cabinets (crown molding also), which are in the adjacent room and clearly visible.

A bit of a set back (nothing I can't handle - lol)!

We brought the stand in the house to get it out of the way in the garage. The next morning with a little light on it the poly finish was streaked to high heaven. Not acceptable. I tried to sand down the poly (very, very slowly with 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper) to no avail. I got through the poly and to the stain - removing it in a couple of places and getting down to the bare wood. I was forced to sand it all down (except the top rail and end panels) and start the finishing process over. Wow - what a :lipssealedsmilie::lipssealedsmilie:

Anyway - here it is - let the finish process begin!

Not yet - but it has almost become a quest (lol)!!
