Here is a small stand of my own design. The top is 4”x6”. I intended to be building larger stands, but I wanted to try a design that was more fun as is allowed with an accent stand.
The top is streaked and figured maple. The legs are walnut and the stringers are maple. I think it would work well with a small accent, but I’d love to see it with an old but tiny black pine also.
I thought the simpler design would be easier to make but of course was wrong. The legs are tiny and a complete bitch to cut on the scroll saw as they need to be accurate for everything to align correctly. I had to find special precision blades and still cut ten just to get four I liked.
I’ve also begun building storage boxes for my stands which are fun to make, although their design is pretty much copied from the Facebook page of MB Bonsai Tables with just a little customization. They are primarily mdf which I like the rustic look of a lot when stained and finished with one application of tung oil and rubbed smooth with steel wool. The splines and door pull are maple, the door birch ply, the front trim walnut, and the lining is thin black foam.
I sign my tables and their boxes with my initials and a serial number, so this is the sixth one. All the others have been posted here except the fifth which was specially made for someone and sold. I expect I will skip MS 13 for obvious reasons.
I’m working on a 5x7 version of this design now. Anyway, let me know what you think.
