My middle son is getting married in March and after looking around for a stand for the wedding cake wanted to know if I could make one. Well you know me—couldn’t refuse the opportunity to make a new project so here it is. Made from Peruvian walnut the top is 16” in diameter with a 10” base and 9” tall turned pedestal. Used an Ogee bit for edge detail, sanded to 400 grit and finished with 4 coats of wipe -on poly. Fun little project

That came out perfectly ! The Peruvian Walnut looks so rich and the Ogee profile added just enough style to the piece . Very nice pedestal turning as well. Is it doweled in place , or did you turn stubs on the ends ?
Great job , Dad : )
