I finished the Kelsey Press wooden base! Actually, I finished it last weekend, but I am just getting around to posting pictures. I sanded, painted with stain, then coated it with a couple coats of polyurethane. Then I bolted the press on, and voila!

I made the base from reclaimed wood, so it has some reminders of its previous use. You can see a nail hole in the side in the picture above. But I think it give it character.

I just love how shiny and smooth it looks. And it is now totally stable and weighted, so can begin using it immediately! Zodiac birthday cards already in the works. Stay tuned!
