Here is the end result: I made these using patterns in Woodsmith vol. 45 No. 270. The cherry pines are for my daughters. I pushed to get them done so I could sent it back to college at Thanksgiving. I showed it to her and in typical kids answer said "I don't have room for it in my dorm". Going to get a block of wood next year! I had this stupid idea of using "luminescent clear coat" over the top coat. It's not totally transparent, and I had to removed the finish. The cherry had a lot of variations in color, and the birch was from a dead tree in our yard. Thanks for the ideas!
Merry Christmas

Those are really nice. And despite the protestation, I'm sure your daughter will find a spot for them and think of how special it is to have a father who takes the time to make something for her.
