Jayaruh Razor Stand

A member on TSD suggested I make a donut razor stand. I was a bit confused, but I finally figured it out, so here is what I did.

I glued up a blank using oak and purple heart woods.

Here I trimmed it up to make it square.

Next, I cut off the corners to make it an octagonal shape.

I drilled a 5/8 inch hole in the center.

 I began to shape the stand.

This is a test of the new stand.

I sanded it and sanded it, then put a coat of polyurethane on it. Here it is almost dry.

All done. Here it is with matching pieces.
