We woodturners are always left with some odd pieces of wood when we process a log. In this video, I take an interesting "cheeky" log end and turn it into a rustic chic cake stand. We make some beautiful veneer from the bark to wrap a inexpensive pine blank to look like a large Birch cookie. (veneer creation starts at 12:50)
Please let me know what you think? NO MUSIC in this video, just stream of consciousness and tool noises. :-)
