Yet Another Pipe Stand
I saw the prototype for this being used as a display unit on ebay. So, I decided to make some.
I selected an appropriate piece of firewood (high desert Juniper) that is suitably dry. The miter saw reduced it to slabs and a close by cottonwood donated a few small limbs. One hole in the base of the piece for the post and it is almost done.
I will need to pick up some green felt for the bottom of the stand, sand the 'bowl' (where the pipe will sit) to a more rounded shape and smooth that. Then a bath in tung oil for all of it (before gluing on the felt of course. I think I will fit the 'tenon' of the post into the 'mortise' of the base with a screw from the bottom. That way, these will ship nicely.
The c-shaped hole is natural, the bowl for the pipe is the center of the log, which is nicely rotten, making for easy removal.
I like this!
