I was ask to build this lectern for a friend that got his first teaching job.
It is made with a solid Cherry center post, base and the top is Cherry, Walnut and Maple.
The top is 24" wide and 16" tall. The Lectern is about 34" tall and top is at a 20 degree angle.
The pencil holder at the bottom of the top is walnut.
I sprayed it with four coats of clear Shellac and then three coats of Enduro-Var Satin Finish.
