I'd give it a couple of coats of Watco Danish Oil, then a backer and narrow frame of semi gloss black. Remember that cherry will darken over time and especially if exposed to sunlight. Unfortunately I would do away with the feathers. They distract from the picture that is beautifully cut.

I use paste floor wax for all my table tops. Not only does it make the wood slide easily but it also helps prevent rust on the cast iron.

I prefer Watco Danish Oil. For trivets I put some oil in a shallow pan and dip the trivet to coat the entire item. Set it on a paper towel for about 15 minutes then wipe off all the excess. 2 coats would be sufficient as they aare not exposed to moisture. If they get scratched just wipe on a little oil to repair.

The hardest part is getting the hook set properly, but once you master that you will get a much better finish than you can with sandpaper. A heavy scraper is also very good for removing glue squeeze out.

I bought a Samsung Xpress M2885FW monotone laser. Does everything you want. Paid $130.00 Canadian. Should be a lot cheaper in the US.

Think we would all like a link to your site.

I downloaded the attachment from this site last October and am trying to find out who the designer was. I have searched all the forums with no luck so any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mainly Danish Oil because I like the feel and sheen. Give it a quick buff with a brown paper bag for a final finish.

It's a great saw. I'm sure you'll love it. I used the rear leg extension and set it at it's maximum. Seeing as I use a stool when cutting, it seemed quite a lot more comfortable than when flat.

Welcome to the village Danny. There is a multitude of free patterns and lots of info to be had, if you just ask for it. Not a big fan of spiral blades. Found them to be too rough. Tried them and would rather just use a finer normal blade.

10) As soon as you replace an item you lost, the original will appear.

Welcome to the village Jason. It's a great place for patterns and advice. I have the DW788 and am more than happy with it. I would love to own an Excalibur, but is it really worth the extra $?

Welcome Tino. The patterns on this site are all free for you to download.

Welcome to the village Kevin. There are plenty of free patterns here and a lot of good advice, if you ask for it. Be sure to post pictures of your finished projects.

I've been using glue from Lee Valley for years now with never a problem and it is stronger than the wood. Called 2002 GF. It sets up quite quickly also.
