I used mahogany on mine.
It has darkened up considerably since July. I cannot wait to see that cherry in a year!

Did you start with 8/4 cherry or is that 2' 4/4 board to get the thickness?

Two boards, with a thin sheet of insulating paper between them, then heavy lacquer. Next I'm gonna line with that Insulating foam that has the foil on the outside, I'm going to bolt the manifold and the rest of the stuff to the collar but pinching the foil insulation in between it.. I see some guys doing it the other way around. Mountings everything to the wood collar and then put insulation on but have to cut around the some of the things connected to the collar? Not good insulating....
(Did that make sense?)

Solid wood like cherry has an R-value of about 1.5 to 1.6 per inch. You will probably have an r-value of around r8 with the insulation. It's not great but its not terrible.
First, what is HVAC
2nd what is R-value And not great but not terrible doesn't work for me... Lol, Anything I can do to insulate it better?

And Thanks bud! I can't wait! I'm just afraid three kegs is not enough now... Hahaha... Just kidding.
I joked with my girlfriend the other day that the more the guys women ***** at them the more taps the guys have on the kegerator (That's how you can tell who has the sweet girlfriends and who has the tougher ones) so they need more brew on hand to alleviate such stresses.... Lol
My girl is a Three Tap woman...
Kinda in the middle...
Then wife is either tough as nails or just loves me above all else
I've explained to people the beauty of having lots of beer on tap isn't that you can have as many beers as you want...it's that you can pour half a beer, if that's all you want.

I just got two cobra taps that I got to open the door to access. My wife must worship me.

Lowe's freezer, $175. Wood collar $25. Temp controller $75. Four taps all in, $150. Drawing a draught, priceless.
I wish so bad I went perlicks. I did 4, chrome faucets with shanks that were $25 each (faucet and shank). I also did the handles you make your own label to slip in. Now I see why the faucets are so cheap. If you don't pull a beer from one for a day or two the beer dries in there and they stick bad.., ugh.
Nice, I used a stainless drywall mud tray with magnetic tape.
