| Second (and final) coat is finished... |

| And the bottom shelf is finished with two coats. |
What I am doing here is slightly unusual, I am finishing the plywood before I do the final milling. This is to reduce the amount of finishing I have do do within the assembled shelf. Doing anything inside a piece of assembled furnature is both time-consuming, and prone to lower quality results.
On a related note, applying the danish oil finish has both advantages and disadvantages... One advantage is that finish is a penetrating oil, so the wood can be sanded and worked, without effecting the look of the wood. However, the finish takes 1/2 of an hour minimum per coat - the wood must be kept WET for 1/2 hour for best results. To save time and labor, the undersides of the shelves will be finished with wipe-on poly!
