Hey LumberBud

Your stand is very well done. I think the design is fine, fits together well.

I’m sure it will be a wonderful gift and become a heirloom for generations to come.

Dock..it is very beautiful….I really like the choice of contrasting woods….and in my opinion…the “Newer” style top has a unique look with the more traditional bottom.

I think it is a nice blend of the two….If you was to make another one…you “Might” try doing the same style again…but maybe make the bottom just a tad stronger…same design…just a bit “Thicker” or bolder on the bottom to marry to the thicker top.

NO offense meant at all…I think it is beautiful as is…just a thought is all.

-- Don S.E. OK

it is LOVELY
I tend to agree with the “thicker” comment… Looking at it with that idea, it does seem to be heavier at the top.

Some day I want to make one for my daughter.. this will be added to my inspirations collection.

Great stand. I like the mix of styles. It move from a conservative design at the bottom up the post to a more complex and free design. The activity of the piece increases as you view from the bottom up.

It looks great, DocK!

I would never have thought about a discrepancy in styles if it had not been brought up. After further review, I agree with Don that maybe a little heavier base would look even better.

Beautiful piece of work! I think the styles look fine together and it makes it one of a kind. I agree with Don that the base shold be thicker. Thanks for posting.

God bless

I too like the mix of styles, the two marry well together, as the top is mostly hidden anyway I don’t think it is even an issue, however as a piece alone it is beautiful and fresh. I love the intricate details of the top and if anything it makes a focal spot for a beautiful stand.
