That's a gorgeous piece. I recall reading about Maloof's finish in FWW about 25 years ago and trying a mix of poly/stain on a couple of pieces. The finish was superb. Alas, I've forgotten the ratio of poly to stain. Any help?

No paint for this boy, Mike. This cherry has never been finished. It was put up in the barn raw. My instinct is Watco natural followed by 3 coats of satin poly.

A beautiful finish for cherry is a hand rubbed oil/poly/wax finish a la Sam
Maloof:

http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2004

Or you can make your own. Here is a cherry/walnut hope chest I used the
Rockler product on a few years back:

http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-qUVTtVxL7Aw/TtEiZJUDf6I/AAAAAAAAI6o/2jhHAo6VtYU/s2048/HC24JPG.jpg

Cherry finished in this manner, gorgeous from the first application, gets
richer looking with each passing year.

Thickness has no bearing on the matter. A 1" thick cherry board paints as
well as a 1/4" cherry board. Just be sure to chose a quality paint...

You have really got to look at your newsreader or google, or whatever you
use. Your reply (above) did not come through as you may be seeing in now.
Yours came through with the OP, my reply,all crammed together in one ugly
large paragraph. You've been here long enough to know what readers work and
which ones don't. I pasted your reply as it appears, below...

Funny. Running joke about painting Cherry.

Some sort of oil is a big plus for Cherry. Some will consider poly as bad as
paint but for a coffee table it is the absolute BEST choice. I would put on
some tung or blo, let it dry for a few weeks, then a few light coats of wipe
on satin poly. Paint it on and wipe it down with a partially saturated
smooth cloth so you leave just a hint on the surface. 24 hours between
coats. Hit it lightly with 400 sand paper after the second coat, then add a
third and be done.

A few days later rub in some wax a scrub pad and buff er down.

Hmm. tung, blo, buff it... now what does that soumd like so much fun?

You'll quickly find after a pass or two through the planer that some of
the dents and depressions show up really well. You can either keep
planing until they're gone, attempt to sand out the area, fill it, or
leave it alone.

Other than that, it's no different than the new stuff.

Shellac. Amber warms cherry very nicely.

I tried to look it up, but didn't see a setting for line length. If and
when you find it, set it for 65 characters, so ther will be automagic

Sorry it looks so bad. I use Google reader and attempts to try other
approachs all failed.





Just so you can see what it looks like to a newsreader. There are lots of
newsreaders out there, so I don't understand why you say other approaches
have failed. Most here use one of those or another, and yours is the only
post that shows up like this. Google certainly has its problems, but this
is not a common one. I suggest it's something you are doing wrong, and
worth looking at. You really can't keep posting to a usenet newsgroup this
way. As much as we usenet people hate rules, there are... rules...
