Jim McDonald Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Our assistant pastor is leaving to become senior pastor at a church in Georgia, so I made this name plate for his new desk. This is 5/8" cherry that was milled from a much larger chunk given to me by a friend. He said it had been in his barn for 20+ years and I've had it probably 5 more years. From the size of the original piece and the backstory, I would estimate that tree probably started growing around the early 1900s. Got through it with no burning until I went to cut the base on the table saw. Got a slight burn on the trailing edge. Sanded out easy enough. Finish is Watco Gloss lacquer. frankorona, Tomanydogs, GrampaJim and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
