I turned this for a contest on a different forum. It has a cherry base, holly legs, box elder body with cherry rim, and 2 cherry finials. It has a spray lacquer finish. Comments are welcome... Russell
Glenn it is at the Woodturners America forum. This piece tried to get the best of me. I turned 8 finials for the top, only to glue one on have a "incident" and it break. Then back to the drawing board. Thanks for the comments. Russell
Ken if I bring that out of the house I may be looking for a new place to live. I gave it to my wife....nuf said.
Jeff the lacquer is spray Deft gloss. I got it from LOWES. I can't find it at H.D. and the price is about 6$ a can. I put on 3 coats, let sit for a day then sanded with 600 grit. Then applied 1 more coat. I did not buff, it was too fragile and I was tired of making replacement pieces...LOL
