Good Morning,
Well, the wedding is now over and our friends are off on their honeymoon. The cupcake stands were a hit with several at the wedding. The white dyed birdseye Maple veneer was a near perfect match with the icing on the cupcakes which was an added benefit. I'm just glad that this project is over and was very well accepted. Here are the stands:

Here is a closer shot of the white dyed veneer that I put on the faces of each stand.

In short, I learned a LOT about veneer work on this project and I want to thank Mark Cothren and Joe Meazle once again for helping out with maple wood and hardwood plywood on this project. It is friends like this that have helped me save money making the project as well as me getting this project done on time.

The finish is Zinnser's spay-on Clear Shellac.

This week I'm taking it a little easier and getting stuff done around the house that has fallen through the cracks due to the wedding.

That's it for me...so what did YOU do this past weekend??

Best of weeks to you all.
