Magazine Rack Cover

Project by Woodbutchery posted 405 days ago 236 views 0 times favorited 5 comments Add to Favorites Watch

So I’ve got this wire magazine rack, and I like to read in the comfy chair. I also like having a table or some such to put my drink and book down from time to time.

Took a piece of curly maple, and came up with this.

Two coats of spar urethane with a light sanding between them on the top, one for the bottom.

Routed edges before cutting dadoes. Router speed was too high as I got burn marks, but I’m overall pleased with the results.

One thing you might try on a piece of scrap is after making your next to last pass to get you to your final depth, is to make a very light cut to see if you can remove your burn marks. This is easier with a plunge router, but still works with a sharp bit in a standard router.

I like what you have done with this.

Thanks, John, Davion.

John, that sounds like a plan. I’ll try it next time.
