Oak & mahogany bench

A birthday gift for my mother-in-law. Red oak planed down to 7/8" thick with 1" wide pieces of sapele mahogany in the middle of each panel. Band-sawn legs, aprons and stretcher. Legs are joined to the top with through-mortises and tenons. Aprons and stretcher are joined with 3/8" pocket holes and 1-1/4" fine-thread Kreg screws. Project was sanded to 220 (400 on the end grain), wet-sanded with 400-grit paper and tung oil (600 on the end grain), then given multiple coats of my BLO, tung oil, Arm-R-Seal, and mineral spirits blend.
