3 and 4 are Yew finished with Melamine its a flat finish but retains the feel of wood.
Thank you.Well done. Doors #1 and #2 are stunners.

How do you apply Melamine as a finish?
I sand to 600 grit then Cellulose Sanding sealer. Then I apply Melamine with a cloth Larhe off and wipe along the grain I apply about 6 Coats and sand with 600 grit again Lathe off after every 2 coats. Its very quick drying so you can work fairly quick.
On the ones in the photo I applied a final polish with Renaissance Wax.
( Microcrystalline wax )
It doesn't have the high shine of CA.. I am still experimenting and will try more coats and maybe burnishing cream after.
