I am honored to have your tree on my stand!Very nice Jerry! Great design and workmanship.
I have been asked to display a tree at a karate tournament this weekend, and will be displaying it on the table you made for my USNBE entry last year.
I have seen many stands from Japan with legs just like this.Hi JB, is there a reason why you keep the legs so heavy all the way down? I have never seen legs like this in books I have on stands, especially from Japan.
No, I understand your point.I think you are missing my point. Your legs keep the lines parallel all the way to the bottom. What I mean is that the legs should be thinner at the top and flare during the curve. More like this

This is the only stand I could find in the Kokufu no. 80 book which is a double issue with a set of legs parallel all the way to the bottom. Also note the shortness of the table. Not really desirable shape for the legs with them being so short.

These stands with this sort of leg tend to be much taller and elegant. At least three times the height of the top blade and stretchers.
Here is one that I do. I tend to like a little more pronounced curve in the leg, almost 25% of the length rather than curve it in the last inch of the length of the leg.

The second and third photos here look like the legs are the same thickness all the way down to the curve at the bottom.I think you are missing my point. Your legs keep the lines parallel all the way to the bottom. What I mean is that the legs should be thinner at the top and flare during the curve. More like this

A few days working on and off, Discussmike.I like those legs,very nice stand.How many days make this?
Chansen, I use two coats of sanding sealer with two coats of satin lacquer with sanding in between.Jerry -
Would you mind sharing your finishing materials? In the past I've used a poly shellac wash coat, a poly based finish topped off with a furniture wax applied with 0000 steel wool. I like the finish on yours, and I'm interested in learning what others are doing. Very nice work.
Thanks,
