Hood completed
Guys, I'm blushing. I'll assure you that this wasn't what I had planned. I worked on this at the shop where I work and my boss gave me a lot of advice. He's a master woodworker. You wouldn't believe some of the things he's made.
Marc, I sanded between coats so it is probably only 5/8" lacquer [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]. You saw my last hood, I wasn't about to take a chance with this one.
Victor, I did consider having the polyurethane tinted to white but decided that with the PFO reflectors I should be alright. I love wood grain. You are probably right though, I don't imagine those internal reflectors are all that great on the URI bulbs.
I should be finished with the stand by mid-week. The outside is done, I just have to add a bottom and do a few little things. I'm trying to correct a mistake I made with the doors. Once the stand is completed I just have to plumb and I'll be adding a school of powder blues in no time [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img].
Again, thanks for the compliments.
