I was asked to make a podium for a veterans group. They wanted it for their Memorial Day celebration.
I made it out of mahogany and finished it with my usual Zar oil-based semi-gloss polyurethane mixed 50/50 with mineral spirits. I put about 6 coats using the blue paper shop towels cut in fourths then folded into fourths. The last two coats I added some Zar gloss polyurethane to this mixture to obtain more shine to the finish. I attached a microphone to it and delivered it yesterday.
For the sign on the front I took some 1/4" tiger maple to the engraver and he burns the lettering on it. It has several coats of the poly mixture.
