Denny Knappen Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 I finished this on the weekend. The pattern is by Paul Boer and found in CWWC August 2011. I used 1/2" Mahogany for the upright and I thought 3/4" Walnut for the base. After applying 50% BLO, the base came out very red. It must be Bloodwood. I used FD UR #3 for most of the cuts and FD UR #5 for the veining and exterior. Finished with one coat of 50% BLO and one coat spray Shellac. Comments welcome. lawson56, LarB, MTCowpoke22 and 4 others 7 Quote
