What a saga.

It's a thing of beauty. In a similar boat with a rocket obsessed toddler I'm fighting every urge to try something like this. The unfinished entertainment center in the garage still haunts me.
Looks great. I like oil finishes. They give wood a warm glow. Nicely done.

But for real, nice work.
I super appreciate the craftsmanship and I have seen pretty much every post as it came out I think, so don't take this the wrong way, but do you ever look at this (or other long projects) and be like "wow and I don't even really like it anymore?"

If your kids are like mine prepare to find it embedded in the dirt under the porch or something similar. Oh well.
I really wanted a semi-gloss finish, but finished is better than ruminating ad infinitum

All those angles and curves on joins scare me, but looks great.
