Finished a couple projects this past weekend. Both are from Steve's patterns (thanks Steve). The lighthouse was really fun to complete and I got a little creative on the finish. Notice the lights are on in the house and lighthouse. The "Dogs Make Me Happy" was a project for a charity the wife asked me to do. She picked out the finish which is an antique oak. The backing board is flat whereas the front is gloss. The antique oak would not have been my choice but... happy wife, happy life.
