New Shohin stand [Dec 2016]

Post by ben17487 »

Hey everyone, I've just finished a new display stand. It is a gift for my partners dad but I will be making a few more of these for sale in the new year. I'm really happy with the style, it was something I was hoping to achieve on one of my previous tables but it didn't quite work out. Nice to see things work out the way you intend :)
I also made a decorated box to go with the stand.

For those that are interested I've started an instagram account for my woodworking and other projects - https://www.instagram.com/treeandtable/

I will also be listing things for sale on my Etsy store so have a look from time to time if you're after tables - will post the link once it's all set up!

Cheers
Ben
