This one is 20" diam. cut out of 1/2" Baltic birch Ply. About 4hr. cut with 1/2 90 deg. v-bit.

I like the finish. How did you do that?

That is quite nice John. Was there any problem with chipping out with the birch ply?

These are even more valuable now. Simply because we can still make them.

Not to claim jump here, but you can first finish with metallic copper paint - let dry for 24 hr - then rub in cherry gel stain. Shellac or poly when dry.

First, I had no trouble with the Baltic birch chipping out. Sharp 90deg.1/2" v-bit -- no problem.
Baltic ... not local.
As for the finish, one coat bullseye sealer shellac, one coat clear minwax stain, followed within
a half hour with 230 Early American Minwax stain (wipe off surface for light accents), ( time for drying ), then more bullseye,
then a light high-light rub with Classic gold paint, then a couple more spray-on coats of Bullseye
or clear satin Krylon. Enjoy.
