Book Cart I made for my church

[jj9ball]

I know, I know, I didn't use a lathe on this at all. Once in a while a person gets the urge to do flat work. This is a cart I made from walnut and walnut burl veneer for my church. They wanted something that would hold bibles and hymnals to move them around the church. The wheels are rated for 1000lbs... even Bibles aren't that heavy . The bookmatch burl panels on the side were supposed to look like a cross. It looks a little more like a ghost... oops. I finished it with BLO and my own mixture of poly and mineral spirits. I put a coat of wax on top of that for good measure. Comments both good and bad are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

I'm the furthest thing from religious but you could alway say it's the Holly Ghost. The cart is beautifully done and would be appreciated by anyone.

That is a magnificent job you have done.

Well done!!!
