Getting to play with some wood has been really enjoyable. Although I will probably never be a great timber craftsman (more like a wood butcher) it keeps my hands busy and I get a lot of satisfaction from having a bonsai on display that is on a stand that I made.

The latest one is a very traditional stand but I think it will be able to be used for a number of trees.

This one is made from some recycled ash and a small piece of hardwood I found some time ago and the finish is rosewood.
