Excellent craftsmanship! The detail is awesome.

Thanks for sharing the way you made the post because I don’t have a lathe and never gave making anything like that a try.

A great story on making the column as well. Now that you have completed a few, I bet you will be making more of them on your future projects.

very nice work !

I had a LJ ask about how I did the arch at the top and what I used to paint it. I thought you might like my response:

The doors and the arch were both done on a router door system and built from a solid piece of MDF. The system is a table with 4 different routers already set up with the different bits. The fiirst one is just a fluting bit to clean out the bulk of the material. The second and third will do the cove for the raised panel and the inside round-over design. The last one is a small pin router to clean up the corner so that you don’t have such a big radius (because of the radius of the bit used).

I don’t have this system, I had to go to a friend’s shop to complete those.

On the paint. I have Pittsburg Paint or Sherwin Williams mix up a lacquer in the color that I need. It drys faster and more durible. I spray it from an airless rig. I prime it with a white lacquer undercoater.

Exceptional Fine Craftsmanship—just curious to how many hours this project took.
Great job!

Bill on your comment about time. I really don’t know. I need to do a better job of tracking some of my projects. Just guessing around 40 hours. If I just worked on that it would take me about 4 days. My problem about tracking time is I have about 3 or 4 projects in process at a time.
