Project Information

I was asked a couple of days ago to make something for the Ronald McDonald House Silent Auction (being held in 4 more days). I'd never done anything like that before but I said I would see what I could come up with.

I found this design on the Interweb (and having played a little Super Mario Brothers back in the day)...I was intrigued by the design.

Some people will recognize it right away. My grandson, who has never shown any excitement in my projects, came into the shop this afternoon and immediately exclaimed, "Wow! That's from Super Mario!!"

It's cut from Cherry, Maple and Walnut and finished with Mineral Oil. The bottoms are beveled and rubber feet are added.

I hope it brings some money for the charity auction!

Thanks for looking and your comments are welcomed.

The "original" inspiration (for the non-gamers)...Pop Culture!

Did this ever develop any issue with the joint lines?
Always been nervous to let the joints run like that for fear it would prove weak over time
