Completed the Upper Molding and Now to the Finishing

I completed attaching the upper molding around the apron today.  This completes the mechanical woodworking for the table.  So now I have to do the sanding and apply a finish.
My plan is to sand to 220 grit, raise the grain with water, lightly sand with 320 and then apply a dye stain.  I will probably spray the water based dye.  I order some Lockwood Water Based Dye today so I should have them early next week.
After the dye is applied, I will rub it out with 0000 steel wool.  Then if the finish is the right color, I will probably spray a dark shellac, rub it out, and finally apply a paste wax.
So here is today's video:
