Building The Contest Stand
I decided, what the hay, I might as well post the stand under construction just like the trees under construction. I went to my local secret wood procurement place and found a wonderful surprise. A piece of African Mahogany burl. This piece of wood is gorgeous. The grain is all wavy and the wood has some tiger eye effect. I decided on a stand at 6"x10". I made it a little longer than usual to accomodate an oval pot, in case anyone has one that wins. The stand will be in the formal look. simple top with grooved legs and a stretcher bar with dowels. Very similar to the stand that I use under the green rock that I wanted to grind.
These are the pieces cut out for the top.
