What are you thinking for finish on that range hood? You'll be dealing with heat and a lot of grease. Forget about latex finish! It won't hold up to heat or a lot of cleaning. Exterior urethane should be able to take the heat but it is soft (that's why it handles temperature changes). Not sure how it will hold up to a lot of cleaning. Perhaps oil base cabinet urethane?

It’s sprayed with a pre catalyzed lacquer.

I just today learned who your company is! (I know your products really well!) It was a dream for me to own your smallest log mill for my own purposes, the 1220. I have a 13'x52' loft over my garage with a hoist, wood racks, etc. I chop down trees all the time to improve my forest and they are literally sitting on the forest floor rotting, rather than air drying in my loft for 5-7 years. Cherry, walnut, maple, etc. Its a horrible waste of an amazing resource.

I'm suffering the consequences of a century of high deer numbers, low stem count, and limited sunlight in my forest that makes for outstanding timber, but a terribly unhealthy forest.

I'm a mediocre woodworker, but a fairly decent trim carpenter. I'd probably do raised panels, crowns, chair rails, and tray ceilings once I have enough dimensional hardwood lumber cured and ready for use. It's my retirement plan for a hobby, and I might even use a giveaway winner picker to decide which project to tackle first.

I’m more of a hobbyist, but I really enjoy woodworking and especially making furniture. That white oak vanity looks great. There’s something satisfying about taking rough lumber and turning it into something that will actually be used for years. And yes, I can definitely understand the Festool addiction. Once you start using good tools, it’s hard to go back.
