Woodturning - Black Walnut Cake Stand (Brads Workbench Giveaway)

A trip back to our home town, offered a nice heave glass dome for a serving dish. I couldn't help but think of all of the birthday cakes for our daughter in our future. This piece is a composite build of three pieces of black walnut. Two came from the scrap pile, while the main platter is a beautifully figured, colored, and curled piece of private reserve stock. I hope you enjoy :)

What a gorgeous cake stand! Any baker would be proud to display/keep their baked creations in this! I love that you made this with a outside “lip” also. As a baker I have had some accidental losses of pies when I used a cake plate for my pies.The way you designed this it will keep a pie as nicely as a cake.Im sure your lovely wife will appreciate her hard work not sliding off into the floor. Oh yeah...TUNG WAX!

[@johnconnor926]

Very beautiful cake stand. Any cake maker would surely be honored to have their cake sitting on top of this. Tung wax it is.

[@williamellis8993]

Everything about this is really beautiful, Todd. Your thumbnail doesn't do it justice. That TUNG WAX leaves a really nice finish, too. Take care. Bill

[@bpr669]

Tounge wax. Awesome piece again!!!!

[@Archiemonty]

Nice looking stand to go with that glass cover

[@jameswallace7351]

Your use of tung wax really made that piece pop

[@derekdodson5623]

Wow. Gorgeous. The chatoyance on the walnut is beautiful.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

Can't beat black walnut man, that turned out gorgeous! Glad you were able to work through the challenges and tame that beast!!! LOL Great stuff, thanks for sharing brother!

[@donovanbailey4398]

Tung Wax. Great project. I think that the walnut you are working with is the most beautiful wood in the USA.

[@ssue4q]

Absolutely beautimous! Not only a cake but probably a paper doily first! 😆 So not to scratch the wood when cutting the cake.

[@gaowoodlab]

Very shiny, great job,👍👍👍

[@tequilastraightup595]

Love it when the family is in your videos. The grains on the plater are outstanding. Tung Wax

[@jcwoodcraft8170]

That tung wax finish is astonishing on the walnut. I love this project. My sister is opening up a coffee and cake shop this year so may borrow this idea!

[@kizerfam1]

This is a beautiful piece! The grain on the plate is incredible! Glad you used Tung Wax on the whole piece!

[@johnwallace4408]

What a beautiful finish thanks to Brad's Tung Wax! This turn is suited for the most elegant table! BEAUTIFUL.

[@Buttermilk3696]

I love it when a piece of wood flashes me! Tung Wax rocks!!

[@jasonwiggins1284]

Brad's Workbench Tung Wax made your Black Walnut plate stand look amazing. One of my favorites thus far. Keep turning. Great Channel. Greetings from Oregon

Thank you! Cheers!

[@aarondodini701]

I love seeing how you are able to fix stuff when it doesn't go perfectly. Most of what I turn doesn't go perfectly so it's nice to see the creativity to fix it. I have never used Tung Wax before but I've been using Ack's abrasive and polishing pastes since seeing you use them. I'm looking forward to trying the Tung Wax. Thanks for a great channel!

[@lyleturner6964]

Beautiful as always. Great recovery & I really like the shine that the tung wax brings out in your pieces.

[@joshmorris8510]

[@CJS_WOODWORKS]

That piece of walnut is beautiful!!! I love the end product. looks great with that tung wax finish

[@JordanWoodwerx]

That looks awesome Todd !! As killer as that top looks, It would look great with a German Chocolate Cake sitting on it also!👍🏻👍🏻. Great job as always!

[@kevinloar6264]

If this tung was product is the same as what you used in the finishing of this cake platter it seems to leave a dam good finish and shine congrats on a beautiful looking platter

[@charlesball8872]

Great job, sir! I also love Black Walnut wood , it is my favorite to both turn and carve! I would truly love to try the Tung Wax products myself! I’ve been a user of the other brand of these products for a while now, but being a woodworker of more than just a few years, I well know the value of Tung Oil products. The thought of it being in a wax just sounds right! Keep em coming and kiss that baby! ( I’ve been Blessed to have 2 daughters and 4 granddaughters!) Enjoy them while you can, because time really flies as they grow!

[@deanmccall5023]

This is absolutely gorgeous. Your pieces are an inspiration to a newish turner....and tung wax

[@seanhanley2104]

Just like I never turn down a free meal, I will not be turning down a chance at winning Brads tung wax. Nice work now following you my friend.

[@curttundra]

Keeping it real with this project. I'm with you, way too nice to place food on. I have a few 1911's that would look awesome on that piece. Tung wax.

[@JiggsysShed]

That is a beautiful stand and the tung wax finished it very well.

[@nancyducharme2004]

We love the cake holder pedestal you made! And your family is so nice. And we are going to try to win the prize also for tongue wax

Nice piece, black walnut is such a beautiful wood. I made a similar cake stand for my wife in much the same way last year but it didn't turn out anywhere near as nicely as this one did.

[@BUGDOCTOR40]

love walnut wood with tung oil on it

[@mandicoleman7433]

That is so absolutely beautiful 😍

[@Jeff1Jeff2Jeff3Jeff]

Beautiful walnut cake stand .. We had a glass one just like that (topper) until the nightmare kitten from Hell knocked it off the TOP cabinet .. crashed into the floor .. shattering .. Maybe if I had put Tung Wax on the counter top, she would have been unable to get that high ... nah, she is a determined beast ..

[@MoleValleyMaker]

Beautiful piece of wood and a really great piece overall!

[@freedomacreshomestead3723]

Tung wax. The cake stand turned out beautiful!

[@ericsnelson5272]
