Modern Rustic Entertainment Center

First prjoect wher I tried General Finishes.  After talking to another wood worker on IG about the products he uses, I drove the hour and a half to Woddcraft and purchaased Arm-R-Seal.  Come to find out, Arm-R-Seal was not what he used, but I couldn't be happier with the finish.  It was super easy to work with and went on EXACTLY like the instructions stated.  The Arm-R-Seal really made the grain of the Oak POP.
