Denny Knappen Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I made this on Monday, August 15th. Something I do each year is donate an item to the Rhea Medical Healthcare Foundation Golf Tournament. They use it as an auction or prize. The pattern is by Steve Good. I used 1/2" Cherry for the upright and 1" Maple for the base. The Maple was a throw away from the local Lazy Boy manufacturer. I used FD UR #3 and FD Polar #5. The finish is one coat of 50% BLO and two coats of spray Shellac. It is approximately 9" high ad 10" long. Comments welcome. amazingkevin, hawkeye10, country girl and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Looks great Denny and I am sure the foundation will enjoy getting it and having it as either a prize or an auction item. Whoever ends up with it will love displaying it. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nicely done Denny. Is the hole big enough to place a golfball into? Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted August 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I didn't try, DW, but it looks like it can fit. May have to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Very nice cutting and finishing. Should be popular for the golfers and bring in some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
