I made two exact copies.  Cherry was used accented by walnut.  The finish is danish oil.
Knuckled finger joints are seated 1/8 proud.  The breadboard stands 1/8 higher than the top and is glued to the middle tenon...to allow for the top to breathe.  Here we also see cloud lifts where the smaller one is 1/16 thinner than the bigger one allowing for another subtle detail to touch.
The side panels have mouldings of 1/4 thick running North/South and 3/16 thick East/West.  We can see the curved handle routed to a 12 radius with two waves routed and shaped on the ends.

It took just over 120 hours to complete both stands.  In it I had a few firsts:  cloud lifts, square pegs, breadboard, knuckled finger joints and creating a cool drawer pull.  Favourite feature is the knuckled finger joint.  It actually feels like my knuckles.  But then again, I liked alot more of the other details too.  The thicker breadboard ends are really nice visually.  And the pull feels good.  It works well.
