Popular Post estesbubba Posted October 31, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 Our Pastor asked me if I would be interested in making a small altar for a chapel in a memory care facility. It is made out of rift-sawn red oak, with the top and bookmatched panels quarter-sawn. The finish is American Walnut oil-based stain, followed by super blonde shellac, with two water-based topcoats. It was a nice first project of the woodworking season. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wdwerker Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I learn something new all the time. Never knew about the Chi-Rho symbol before, but I'm not very religious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Very well done Mike! You can probably be rest assured that it will be used for generations to come. “Did you sign and date it”? wdwerker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
