Plant Stand
This view shows the stand in use. The top is 10" in diameter.
My better half wanted a pair of plant stands for our dining room. They had to be small, art deco in style and primarily mahogany. The tops were turned from solid mahogany, and the legs were joined to the top with mortises cut with a router. The legs taper from 1.5″ thickness at the top to .75″ at he base. The “egg” is gilded poplar that was also turned. The cross braces are 3/8″ mahogany dowells. The finish is water based dye, shellac (1 lb cut), and several coats of water based poly.

The top was turned from a solid piece of mahogany. The gold "egg" was turned from poplar then gilded.
