Here we are: the finished stand. I have not put any stain on the wood. What you see is the natural color of the wood. When this wood oxidises, it turns a wonderful cinnamon color.

And now for the gorgeous top. This stand has 7 coats of lacquer on it. I almost wish I could keep this for myself. Like the beautiful bonsai, these stands are one of a kind. The beauty of the wood can never be duplicated. Someone will be very happy indeed!
I have had a lot of fun posting the pics of the process of building my stands. Each one is a labor of love. I almost enjoy building the stands more than doing bonsai. Best regards, Bonsaial

Gary, As far as curved legs it depends on the style of leg we are talking about. If you have a particular style in mind, post a pic and I will tell you how I would do it. Most of the curved legs I have done have been done by sanding or a bandsaw. Most of the stands I have built have been shohin size stands. Though.. I have built some a large as 2' by 4'. The stand I use under my Elm grove is that large and has 8 board feet of ash in it.
