Steamed Cherry Display Shelf - UPDATE

Nice progressive pictures. I’ll bet this took more time to make than one would think. I really like the inserts that are used for the shelf supports, they give the piece more of a look of quality. Kind of like adding dovetails to a piece. Nice piece once again Dave!

A beautiful piece of furniture. I bet your friends love it. I also like the peg inserts.

David: A first class piece. I don’t see your logo. Did it get left off?

A beautiful piece David. More difficult than it appears as stock preparation, tool calibration and accuracy of craftsman are essential in a piece that is open on 4 sides and uses glass for shelves. A really great piece. Thanks for sharing it! I like your shelf pin support jig. I used one of those bits and it drove me crazy as mine doesn’t clear the chips very good so it was drill one hole, bang the thing around, jump in a circle, swear, clear the chips, drill another hole…..

Thanks again for the great comments.

I value everyone’s encouragement! I often think of my fellow LumberJocks when I am working in the shop.

Karson – I did not put my logo on the piece because was built just to be a display stand in a commercial environment. I had thought about reserving the brass logo plate for nice furnture pieces. I was thinking that putting the makers-mark on this would be overkill.
Perhaps not a good decision? !

I have been "offline" the last day or so because I needed to complete this project. This is actually a paying project for my little shop - helping to feed my hobby. My wife is delivering the display stand to The Clearwater Gallery in Central Oregon today. This is a wonderful art gallery featuring nationally known landscape artist Dan Rickards, as well as, a number of other artists that my wife and I appreciate. I will be staying home over the holiday weekend to work! :-(

Very nice stand David. It does show great work, nice design, and wonderful colors. And congratulations on the commissions. That will definitely help the woodworking. Let us know what new tools you end up with because of the projects!
