Project: Shaker Style Candle Stand - Final (Cross Post)

[Jim Becker]

For those of you who don't tend to visit "flatland", I posted the final pictures tonight in the running pictorial (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=32449) that I've been keeping in the GW forum for a Shaker style tiger maple candle stand that I've been working on for some time. (limited shop time stretched it out quite a bit) That project combines turning with flat woodworking and was so enjoyable. Here's a teaser in case you missed the big thread.... :)

And yes, those are a few turnings on top of the table. The red NE piece has it's own thread here in the turning forum...I need to take a final picture and update that thread. The other piece is a box made of Desert Eucalyptus that I turned a few years ago and messed up the finish. I recently stripped it and this weekend it got a good shellac-ing... ;)

Jim that is a beautiful piece. The wood is fantastic. Awesome job Jim.

[Corey Hallagan]

Very striking table Jim. I like the dye job you did on this piece with that great tiger maple. Excellent.

Wow, with stripes that dark maybe it should be zebra maple. Very striking piece Jim.

[Barry Stratton]

Beautiful job Jim, absolutely perfect! I'm glad to see you got some shop time in AND left room on the table for the girls turnings!

[John Shuk]

Nice work Jim. The finish came out nice as well. The color is very similar to some Tiger maple chairs I have that are over a hundred years old so I expect this is going to look good for a long time.

Beautiful piece Jim [the turnings also]. That will most certainly be an heirloom.

Glad to see you got a couple days in the shop. :D

Beautiful table Jim! I think that column is my favorite part. I like the way that you tapered the legs as well.

And, I REALLY like the finish you put on that NE sitting on top!!! I would love to hear the details on that finish.

Thats a sweet candle stand. I love curyl Maple and wish I had better access without shipping across the country. I really like the color you applyed. What is it? Did you turn the top on the Stubby.

I remember your quest for some tiger striped maple. Looks like you found some with just a little in it.;) Man-o-man is that wonderful looking Jim. And there's that NE vase that I've been wanting to see since you posted the startup on it. Nice job and thanks for posting.

[John Miliunas]

Very nicely done, Jim! :) Man, the figuring on that wood is downright killer! Looks beautiful and the execution of the project is, as we've come to expect out of you, top notch! :) Great job. :) :cool:
