New display pot stands

Post by Raging Bull »

Over the last year or so I've been refining my skills and designs , making pot display stands of various kinds. I've been using all sorts of timber, from slices cut off old hardwood fenceposts to walnut and various other timbers. Some are varnished, some coated with furniture wax and some stained with "Japanese Black" before varnishing.

Hey Frank great work. Good range of styles - really like the sharp lines & timber colour of Contemporary #1 (& the rustic one :) !.)

Hello Frank,

These tables are brilliant. I find myself coming back to this thread over and over just to admire the craftsmanship you have put into them.

Sounds like you've been on a creative journey, honing your skills and crafting some killer pot display stands. From repurposing old hardwood fenceposts to working with fancy walnut and other timbers, you've got quite the range going on. And the finishing touches, like varnish, furniture wax, and that "Japanese Black" stain, add that extra flair. Keep doing your thing and unleashing your artistic prowess. :tu:
