Cherry Window Trim (w/pics)

Nice work, Dave. Looks great. (It helps that you're using my absolute favourite wood and finish.)

Not too bad for a first try - wanna practice on my windows before you do the rest? :-)

Very nice David, the only problem I see is painting that wall another color if you ever decide to do so. LOL.

Very, very nice!

Do you need to seal the cherry some how or do you just leave it and let it age gracefully?

...nice work indeed! The real problem is not in the woodwork, but how it lays against the ceiling. I run into this kind of thing, in the micro, when running crown and the best fix is to float the ceiling in to the trimwork...that gets costly, so I usually end up caulking it all in, then the *painting* becomes the problem (as it always is...how many times have I heard a painter say, "...it's OK, we'll make it look good!" ...and usually *I'm* the painter, LOL). Yours looks to be gapping a little much for caulk, though...

I don't see myself ever painting this place again. I will be fine as fashions change. :)

The trim is just fitted in place for now, it will be finished. I will be testing some finishes in the next few days. As the late Paul Rad. would say, practice on some scrap, or you are practicing on your project.

I hear yuh.

Beautiful work. Making your own moldings always ends up looking better than store bought. Do you glue the corners of the crown or tack them in place? They are perfect.

Pinned with my new Grex 23g 2" pinner and glued.
