ANOTHER "WIFEY" PLEASER.. A PAIR OF LETTER HOLDERS IN ONE DAY!

Started this morning, and they are done!  I discovered a new "instant" way of finishing a pair of Letter Holders the wife wanted.


Images of the two finished Letter Holders and Plans are below.  Here's how I pulled this poject off in a very short while.  Wait till ya see the finish! 


 


Plane down a piece of 3/4" clear pine to 1/4".  If you want two Letter Holders like she did, detemine the stock size needed by looking at the plans.


 


Cut all pieces to size.  Using the plans, apply glue and clamp together.  Let dry for 4 hours.


 


Sand well.  Round off the top edge of the front piece if you desire.  Here's the fun part!


 


Get a can of Briwax "Teak" wax.  Teak is their newest color.    Briwax is a Carnauba/Beeswax formulation in a Toluene Carrier.  Their Teak imparts a nice, soft "Old American" color.  Apply per the instructions in the Plans below.


 


Instant finish.  I like it!  Have fun!

God bless and protect our troops that serve so we can be free.

Very nice indeed Larry! Thanks for the great instructions, although I must admit, your treading on thin ice with that "Wifey" comment!Grin.gif I have some women in my family that would have your hide before you could say, "To the moon Alice!"

Well, John.. I actually call, her "THe War Department."  So "wifey" is kinda bland out here..


 


Like the "instant" finish?


 


Lare..

Your finish couldn't be easier Larry, great job!

Very nice indeed Larry and great instructions as always.


 


Could be easily modified and made a little smaller for a business card holder.

Those are very attractive!  Thanks for the plans.  I might have to make some of those.

It it can't be fixed with glue and sawdust - it's not worth fixing.
