This deserves a hearty 👏 John!

I really like the more "compressed" panel design with the higher part counts. In for a penny, in for a pound eh? 🤠

The colors are also excellent, subtle but in place with a purpose.

What filler did you use? I didn't have any problems with chipping, but I also had the same issue with color in the pores. Nothing like sanding it until the pores disappear or the veneer is sanded away.

Crazy amount of time spent with tweezers (x4) but the style is timeless IMO.

Looks awsum!
