Jim Fasciotti's Bent Wood Armoire

This month, we proudly honor Jim Fasciotti of Ashland, Missouri, for his master craftsmanship and wood finishing technique.

Dear Minwax:

I chose an oval door, bent wood project due to its uniqueness and because I had not done anything similar to it in the past. I used the Kerf technique to bend the wood and fashioned the oval opening and door using a router jig I made for this project. I finished the armoire withMinwax^® Wood Finish™ Penetrating Stain in Red Mahogany 225, followed by a protective coat of Minwax^® Fast-Drying Polyurethane. I applied both with spray gun set at 25 psi.

Sincerely,
Jim Fasciotti
