Mini cake stand

[john lucas]

Our presidents challenge this month was to make a cake stand. I decided to make a doll house cake stand instead including the cake. Stand is cherry, cake is angel food

Very nice John, you must have used a very....very small spindle or bowl gouge on that piece

I used a 3/8" to get everything but the center spindle. I did most of it with 1/4" and the last little cove with a 3/32"

I thought that the glass was rather thick and then I saw the size.

I had one heck of a time polishing the inside of the glass. Simply didn't have the tools I needed. Tried various grits of steel wool and it just left scratches that were hard to remove. Used sandpaper pushed in with a stick but it just didn't clean up the underside of the lid well enough. sanded to 1500 grit and then used automotive polishes to really clean it up. Didn't think about abrasives on my Dremel buffing pads. May have to try that later.

Impressive. That must take a great amount of dexterity, among other skills.

Is the cake low calorie?

 

[John Torchick]

That is nice but I would require a piece of cake much larger than that.

 

[john lucas]

John. It's about the size of a communion wafer.

Idea- now can you make a miniature ice cream scoop to go with the cake? Already looking forward to lunch!
