An Arizona theme Mesquite stand for an unusual copper vase.
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
5 Jul 2020Working on some small projects this summer of confusion.After finishing the dining rooms' cherry table my wife eyed a center piece. A major hunk of local copper sculpture she calls a vase. Being quite unsteady to stand on it's own i designed an Arizona themed stand. It's Arizona mesquite, copper and turquoise.I took some end pieces that had live edge, cut a mortise and tenon on each. I used my dado blade to cut the tenons, very cool! Bored the mortise with my powermatic mortiser, so nice to have. They joined together like four arms joined. The base was rabbeted a 1/4” and thin piece of baltic birch ply attached. The tenons are not glued, the base holds everyone together. I added a couple of turquoise gems to the gnarled ends. Finished down to 600, used watco oils and finished with several rubbings of Waterlox. Place a few silicone dots on the bottom to keep it from marring the table surface plus it makes it appear to be floating on the table. ——————————————————— ———————————————————Thanks for viewing.
