present for my lady
Here's a couple pics of a present for my girlfriend; she started playing mandolin & remarked longingly on a music stand we saw for sale recently. This one is nicer. Go easy on me; this is my first real woodworking project; i.e. from roughmilled wood to finished product, and the first project with wood I've milled myself. Its hard to tell in the pic, but the sapwood on the base pedestal is also curly. I chose the most highly figured pieces from a black walnut I milled last summer for this piece. Its finished with a boiled linseed oil finish, and covered with a couple coats of paste wax for shine. I can see in the pics where I have a buildup of dust around one of the feet that I need to blow off before giving it to her.
