I got some more cherry so I cut another.  I tried the 321 finish but it didn’t come out very nice so I used spray polyurethane for the finish.  I’ve done this in cherry before and another in worm eaten oak from an old barn. I’ll sell this one at the store also.  It’s a Steve Good pattern. Thanks for looking.  IMG_7363.thumb.jpeg.a725c5b59d30ff7790b0737f05a2374f.jpeg

 A nice project with a lot of good advice in it. I like your wood choice for it and also how the finish came out.

Steve has two patterns called Serenty.  I think Fish cut the board he scrolled it on to the shape he wanted.  

Thanks, I was looking for that shape. I found the rectangle one. I like the one he did with the cross.

Well done!

Plaques are my area of interest.  Finishing the plaques has been my area of frustration.  By the time you get to finishing you have hours of work invested in that wood and a poor finish can really screw it up.  I have tried Danish oil (Takes forever), Polyurethane, Lacquer (too plastic looking), and now I have settled on French Polishing with Shellac. 

French Polishing always sounded exotic and I assumed it was only for experts.  I was wrong.  It isn't difficult and the results are spectacular.  There are many youtube videos on French Polishing and it is ideal for finishing plaques.  If anyone is interested, I will post my method and some picture of the results.
