April 10, 201313 yr Well, it is finished! Made from old growth Pine with some Walnut accents. Finished with several coats of MinWax semi gloss poly. All it needs now is a grand baby to fill it. His son is a Marine so that shouldn't be a problem! Thanks for looking! Lew Kauffman-Wood Turners Forum HostTime traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins!
