built this kitchen utensil holder for my wife after the glass one that she had was broken. found some leftover cherry from another project, re-sawed it to the desired thickness on the bandsaw, then decided to try an octagon instead of a typical square. it worked out well I think. i poured a bartop epoxy in the bottom to help keep it from getting damaged over time. finished with some wipe on poly and paste wax buffed out. it really made the grain pop on the cherry! the wife is ecstatic with the result. thanks for looking.
