Woodwork project.

grumpy will never buy a 'inexpensive' woodworking tool.....

Mine cost about $300 new.I bought mine with a spindle sander, a drill press a small band saw and a table saw for $400. I find bargains.

Nice work. If it keeps you busy or you like messing around and getting payed it might be a decent gig but at $100 a pop you aren't really making money. maybe you could throw some black laquer on it and double the price?

I've kept it traditional and put several coats of hand rubbed tung oil on it. If I was to get fancy with it, I would probably add an inlaid ring of cherry or walnut.

The maple I used has some figure to it, almost birdseye in some places. The tung oil shows it off nicely.
