This is my son’s Eagle Scout Project made for a local charity resale shop. He and I cut out and finished the parts, then members of his troup assembled and waxed them both on a rainy Saturday morning. They did a great job.

Are those cherry? I once (for 20 years) ran a little bookstore, and those would have been very welcome. What a fine job your son and the Scouts did.

Thanks Jack. I may make a miniature to keep the memory alive!!!
Barbs, thanks for the compliment. I read it to my son, and as a 16 yo, it actually got an aw shucks grin. Not bad. We used 3/4” oak veneered hardwood plywood finished with Watco oil/varnish golden oak and Briwax golden oak. The black base is rattle can spray painted 1×4 pine. When we were attaching the base, I noticed we had missed painting one of the ends, on both bases. So in a moment of panic and brilliance, I snatched up all the black magic markers in the house (I found 3) and we drew on the black. Hey it worked!
Thanks a1Jim. Now onto shop fixtures.
