Don graciously made this pattern for me, thanks Don. I used to work with a guy over 25 years ago that just turned 80 years old. I haven't seen him or his family for at least 10 years. I actually taught his oldest daughter how to drive. I was given an invite to his surprise birthday party that she was giving him. Don made this pattern and it's a good thing that I made it the next day,, I was off by a week on the date of the party. I didn't have time to do anything fancy with it. I was planning on using BB Ply but found a piece of Cedar. I had thought that it would be a little nicer than the ply, but it didn't have much grain. 1/4" Cedar, used a FD UR1 and a few coats of lacquer.
