Popular Post Dave Monk Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I was commissioned to make five of these to give to all the members of the combining family. My clients game me the idea of the design. The puzzle pieces are glue in. I chose Zebra wood for the sides because it is a biracial family. meflick, frankorona, TripleJScroller and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Dave, The white top makes it looks pretty clean. Is that maple ? What is the finish brand type. It kept the maple a good white. I see you kept the grain of the white center piece in the same direction as the top. Pretty nice. Me. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Sherman Williams pre catalyzed medium rub lacquer which I buy by the gallon and spray it on. preprius and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
