perks of the job!!

I am a carpenter by trade and a good friend of mine lays hardwood floors, well he recently came across several extra boxes of tiger wood, and I figured let's build a stand so here we go!

I got all my boards planed down last night and I made good headway today,

Nice looking stand. Few questions the legs are created by wrapping around a 4x4? The horizontal beams that are tenoned into the legs what wood did you use for that, was that tigerwood also?

 

[MMantelli]

Looks awesome!

 

[Ian086]

Looks awesome!

Looks brilliant. Probably a fraction of what you'd pay for it....

 

[Waam]

If I were you, I'd make a few extras of these and flip them on Craigslist.

The legs are all pieces of tiger wood beveled and glued together, nothing inside, and its all 100% tiger wood hardwood flooring, even made my own trim and she's really coming together nicely now

And I've thought about that too, I've also got some teak that will probably be for my next 1

Right now I have $8 in it, and that's just because I ran out of glue

Wasn't for sure if you had done the legs that way or not. I have done similar but laminated a few boards then ripped the 45 ° and glued up again to get a solid legs with quartersawn face on all four sides. Never have tried a hollow leg.

I wasn't for sure from the first pics if it was all tigerwood, look forward to seeing the final product.

I thought about making the legs solid but this wood is so dense and heavy that I didn't think it was necessary but the inside corners of the legs are cut short so they hold all the load

Well here she is after a full sand, 1st coat, second coat and then final coat of poly, all that's left to do now is figure out the tile design for my shelf

Great job, looks super....

Me too. Can you ship to Ireland!!!!

I'll send it in pieces, that way you can say you technically built it!

Yeah but you'll have to fly over with it to put it together. DIY is not my strong point...haha. Looks great.....
