bonsai stand

Work has been slow at the start of this year and so I decided to make a new stand. My grandpa passed away this last year and before he did he sent with my mom 2 pieces of what he was calling Mahogany (which I know @Bonsai Nut is a complicated topic of conversation in the wood world)...

Hey nuts. I finally got to finishing a stand I started last year. I cut the live edge pieces sometime ago, but didn’t haven’t been inspired to finish due to last years dismal bonsai year. But spring has me springing, and I finally finished it up. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t inspired by...

Just finished a big dining table commission and I’ve got a ton of walnut around now. Figured I’d work on a new stand. Went for something very light and airy. The entire piece is walnut including the lighter color used for the cross members. Legs are all mortise and tenoned with the cross...
