Make a stylish cake stand with Woodoc

You will need

• offcut pine plank (about 30cm wide)
• turned pine foot (about 13cm tall)
• compass
• G-clamps
• jigsaw
• sandpaper
• Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear Matt
• Woodoc Colours Ebony
• mixing container
• mixing stick
• paintbrushes
• drill with pilot bit and 8mm wood bit
• screw
• fine sandpaper
• wood glue
• wood filler

Here's how...

1 Use the compass to draw a circle with a diameter of about 30cm on the pine plank.

2 Clamp the timber to your work surface and cut the circle out with a jigsaw.

3 Sand the edges smooth.

4 Decant about 75ml of Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear Matt into a mixing container. Add Woodoc Colours Ebony and mix well.

5 Apply 2 coats of the mixture you made in step 4 to the turned wooden leg, letting the sealer dry between coats.  Sand lightly with fine sandpaper once the first coat has dried.

6 Drill a pilot hole in the centre of the wooden circle and then a sinkhole with an 8mm drill bit. Screw the screw in halfway.

7 Apply wood glue to the top of the foot.

8 Position the wooden circle on the painted leg; let the screw guide you in locating the centre. Screw it in position.

9 Fill the hole with wood filler, let it dry and sand smooth.

10 Apply 2 coats of Woodoc Water-Borne FLOOR Clear Matt to the wooden circle, letting the sealer dry between coats. Lightly sand after the first coat.
