Cherry Candle Stand

Steve, this is a great looking table that will get better with age. However, be certain that the new owner understands that the cherry will darken where exposed to light, but not where it is protected from light like a candle sitting on the top.

Very nice and great pictures

Very nice and thanks for the pictures. Is that poly in a squeeze bottle?

Thanks for the nice comments! Mahdee yes that is in a squeeze bottle. Comes out kinda “milky white”. I lay a nice bead of it down like you would wood glue and rub it in with the grain. On round surfaces, I just put it directly on my finishing cloth and rubbed it in.

Really a beautiful piece. Very classic in it’s design.

Steve, this is a beautiful piece and so nicely done.

Very nice! Just saw a similar project featured in popular woodworking. I’ve never seen that polyurethane product before… Might have to try that. I am pretty new to the hobby, and still don’t have a “go-to” finish.

Great build. I was just thinking about making one. I have a question, when you cut the dove tail into the leg, how do you get it to match the curve of the post?

You will need tô Back cut the dovetails just a bit.

Here is a similar project from Norm where I got my ideas from

It was a fun project.

I wouldn’t expect anything other than “BEAUTIFUL” from you, Steve. That wipe on poly in the tube looks like a nice neat way to use wipe on poly. That is my finish of choice and I really like GF;s Arm R Seal, but the convenience of that tube might change my mind. Is it actually a solvent or water based product?

Thank you Andy. It is a water based product.
