I think it's turning out pretty close to Cal's. not that it's exact but that's why it's a "clone", right?

Pretty much finished with the brewery. Waiting on the enclosure for my counterflow chiller. Decided to make a stainless case for the chiller so that it fits in more on the stand than just a black rubber coil.

What exactly did you use on the wood to get it to look like that? Also what kind of wood is it?

It's reclaimed beech wood. I put 2 coats of Danish oil (natural color) and 3 coats of polyurethane. It's amazing the grain and look of the wood. No sanding or anything. Ran it through the planer and it looks incredible.

I built the enclosure myself. Since I didn't have to worry about placing it close to the kettles I didn't have to worry about it being waterproof. It's made out of 1/8 aluminum bent on a press then painted with automotive paint and clear coat.

Sorry about the condensation. My camera doesn't like going from the AC house to the garage when it's 95 degrees outside

This is just the front panel. This is just two coats of Danish oil. The difference is amazing. Very easy to apply too. Just use a foam brush. No wiping or anything.
