Mid-century modern firewood stand

Furnished content.

I need to practice cutting dovetails, and we need a respectable firewood stand going into colder weather. Plus, I recently got a lathe to play with. As you can see, I still need practice with dovetails.There weren't any MCM firewood stands made from wood that I could find, so I borrowed design details from various coffee tables.Made from local Rocky Mountain Juniper, some from a local mill but the legs and arms from a large windfall. Minor note about this species: a large old tree in a valley bottom will yield riveable pieces. No finish, so it can easily become firewood someday.This is my third firewood stand. My plan is to live with it for at least one winter, and identify its flaws like I did with the previous ones. Prototyping is a good thing?
