A DIY music stand....

I just finished this music stand for myself. It's made of mahogany and oak with a tung oil finish. A music stand comes very useful when playing my guitar. I've got a few binders of tabs.
This is quite an inexpensive project if you do it yourself.

Sweet! Plus you won't find another like it.
Nice piece of oil finished wood in a sea chrome and plastic.

That's the nicest looking music stand I've ever seen. Mine is black & made out of metal... yuk!

Great job!

Very nice indeed. There are some woodwork forums around where you would be justified in displaying that piece too!

Very nice! But not cheap if you have to buy the wood working tools!

Lovely stand MCH. Took some woodwork classes a few years back myself but doubt I'd ever be able to make something as elegant as that. Good job..!!

Sweet. Practical and something the wife likely wouldn't mind standing in the living room.

Bill. I don't build and sell furniture. I build a lot of furniture for friends and family for the cost of material. I'm retired and so have the time. If you lived in the area, Vancouver Island Canada, I would be happy to oblige (cost of materials ($100), case of beer and nice bottle of wine) but I don't want to go through the hassel of boxing up and sending across the border.
sorry

Wow. That's really a nice piece of work. What species of wood did you use?
Looks like ash or oak to me in the picture. Is that one piece for the cleft sign back or did you glue in the arch at the top and small divider at the bottom?

Very cool.
