WFC Easel :Finished
Well I finally got some shop time today after the Thanksgiving/ Black Friday festivities, so I got started on the easel for Woodworkers fighting cancer. I got most of it done I'll finish the tray tomorrow and the panels as well.
I built it out of red cedar since I still had a bunch left over from some projects last year. Sometimes its a lot of fun to just relax and build a fun simple project. Especially after a complete kitchen remodel. Not to mention its for a great cause. When I'm finished I would like to try and auction it off or sell it and donate the proceeds as well. Does anyone know of anyway to go about this?
Anyway here are a couple of progress pics. I'll finish her up tomorrow and post the completed pics as well.
Also does anyone know how well that cedar will take a dye. Im just not sure how desirable it would be to children finished naturally. I have some dark walnut transtint dye that I could use. I'm not shooting for any particular color finish. Just something to make it look a little less country/rustic than the natural cedar.
