A quick last minute project - a percussion stand for a musician performing in this weekend’s Shanks Mare show at the Art Institute https://www.artic.edu/events/4217/performance-shanks-mare , replacing the PVC think in the last picture. #shanksmare . Pine, maple wedges, shellac.

Problem... solved.

Out of the fuming, and wearing a few coats of amber shellac, and a little dark wax, this booze shelf came out nice. The ammonia fuming experiment was a complete success: the color was great, and it was way easier than prepping for and applying dye. Ot also penetrated the wood deeply, so when sanding the first few shellac coats, there was no chance of cutting through the due color into bare wood - the fuming was deep an I never cut through.
