Modern stand design

[Leo in N E Illinois]

@Velodog2 - I really like your stand. well done. I think it is useful, and would be appropriate for a number of different trees. It is not ''too strong'' in my book.

Meanwhile at Gafuten ... lots of examples of what I should be building.

Actually, most display stands I’ve seen here in the US are very low. As in height. We need taller stands.

I was really referring to the quality of the build and design as well as overall size. I like cascade stands and would like to build more if that is what you are referring to.

That is actually at the 20th Trophy, held last weekend in Belgium and not at the Kokufu Ten. I have seen those tables as well, but can't remember on which sales stand they were. They might be imported but a lot of European show table builders had tables of similar top shelf quality and design.

Probably so as I just noticed some English on a banner in the background. I just copied the photo from my Instagram and took the caption at face value. I don’t pretend to know all (or any) of the shows.

When some of you refer to “taller” stands are you referring to standard rectangular display stands for upright trees that are maybe more of a lap desk style on the order of 6-12”? Or cascade style?

A few examples of what I’m talking about:

Got it thanks. Stands that bring the trees closer to eye level.

I don’t know if this is “Art Deco” or “Arts and crafts” or just Boy Scout camp. Cherry with walnut legs and an oil finish. 5-1/2x8. What do you think?

I notched the legs to inset the top by hand with a sedchisel but since thought of at least 3 other easier and more precise ways of doing it.

If call it Modern Asia . Great design . I like that you used light and dark woods, it emphasizes your design .

Very nice design! I love it.

I love it…. Not a fan of the traditional mahogany type stands with the scrolly woodworking that are so commonly used. If you ever think of selling one of your modern stands please message me.

Yes, especially for medium size trees

Its great! The sleek yet elegant profile and the juxtaposition of woods and shapes reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright's furniture and architecture.
