Project Information

I was suppose to make this 6 months ago when my wife graduated from Nursing School. Better late than never though I guess.

The frame is made of Brazilian Cherry, and the backing is a 1/4" piece of Birch that had some cool figure in it.

Finish is a mix I learned of from LJ Shampeon, it's BLO/DNA/Shellac, and a few coats of a wax mixture I made consisting of BLO/Beeswax/Mineral oil.

It's measures 20"x32". Turned out pretty well, the miters are tight, thanks to my new Bosch Axial Glide saw.

Love the usage of the "shamp sauce" on the finish. Solid project for the wiz buddy.
