Bible Display Stand.......

[Roy Wall]

My first attempt at using a spokeshave for curved work (Thank you Louis Bois for the Record 151 shave....). A feeble attempt on my part but it was a lot of fun and somewhat successful.

5/4 Ash for the legs and thinned to 4/4 for the top. Used the band saw and hand planes/shaves for the rest of the work. A nice quiet project.

Stain is General Finishes Ebony Dye and finished with Arm-R-Seal. Wet sanded with 600 grit for final finish.

This podium goes in the library of my daughters school to hold the Good Book!

Thanks for looking.......

That's what I'd call understated elegance...perfect for the purpose in this case.

[Joe Shinall]

It amazes me sometimes how something as simple as that could be so much at the same time. Great job. Love the color, actually have some of that dye in my garage that I haven't used yet. Definitely gonna try it soon.

[John Keeton]

Roy, that is a great design, and you really did a nice job with the craftsmanship! Nice color, nice finish, and a very worthy purpose for this piece. Excellent!

good job !

[Doug Mason]

It is very pleasing to the eye!

[Jimmy Williams]

Simple but elegant. Great craftsmanship on this piece.

[Larry Fox]

Another outstanding piece Roy - nicely done. I really like the design a lot and the finish came out wonderfully. The curved legs turned out really really well and the whole thing just flows. It will be proudly displayed in the library for a very very long time.

Now, you see, I just love this piece. Simple, elegant, lines that are "uplifting" and thus make a subtle statement about it's use, finely crafted. Everything heirloom craft should be.

Nice work Roy. Your daughter's school is blessed to have you do all the work you do for them. I like the finish. Cal

[Jim Becker]

Real nice work, Roy!

[Todd Franks]

A feeble attempt on my part but it was a lot of fun and somewhat successful.

You're too humble Roy. Great design and execution!!

[gary Zimmel]

Elegant design and great work Roy..

[Hans Braul]

I love it. Elegant, simple. Beautiful proportions and lines. The symbolism of three legs (trinity) may not have been intended, but comes through loud and clear.
