Custom built stands and canopies.
Not sure if I should post this here or not but I finished a pretty fun project for the ball and chain over Christmas that I think turned out pretty sharp. The truck is made from book matched walnut with 222 hand cut dovetails. The top panel and legs are made from Birdseye maple. The interior is lined with aromatic cedar.
I don't know why but she loves the sap wood!

Thanks! It turned out pretty nice. It was really fun to be able to try and pay attention to the slightest details. Like, the legs flare out at the same degree that all the dovetails were cut. And instead of biscuit jointing the miters I decided to make a piece of spline out of the Birdseye that shows through on the ends. Kinda dorky but really fun!!

Ryan, great stands! I came across this stand build, he used Baltic Birch Plywood. What would a similar stand for: L 37 x W 19 x H 32 run?

I actually like the simple look in your #73 post, what wood was used there?

The wood in no. 73 is 3/4 birch ply and poplar for edge banding. And I used MDF for the door. With the flush mount doors you don't want any movement and even Baltic birch ply will move a little bit, so I used MDF to prevent that from happening. I'll have to get a price to you tonight but with a stand that small 1" ply is waaaay over kill.
