Thanks for the iron stars, Randy!

Finished cabinets!

Our beautiful mesquite-topped island!!

It had a couple of spots they needed to come back and fix. ;-(

They put the resin in the holes...

Let it dry good...

Then sand it smooth.

They ended up having to sand down the entire thing and start over!

Then they hit it with a coat of walnut oil, and voila! Gorgeous!!

Great job- thanks Caleb and Cody!
