I built this cherry podium for my son's church. They were replacing an old one that has probably been around since the 70's or 80's. It's solid cherry wrapped around a center post with solid cherry feet. The top is cherry plywood with solid cherry edges. I finished it with one coat of 1# shellac followed by three coats of lacquer.
It was a learning experience for me. There are some things I would do differently if I were to do it again, but it suits their purpose so I guess it's okay.
