That’s one sturdy looking plant stand.

It sure is. I will be making a line of various stiles of stools and stands, so this prototype is giving me some ideas for future builds. Being soft pine, I wouldn’t think this would hold my weight, doweled joinery and all. At least the wife can’t come up with a plant this won’t hold. :)

Very nice finish. I find it really hard to make a nice flat surface. Too bad, in a way, it’s going to be covered up.

Thanks, Brian. The thickness planer make flattening easy and minimized sander. I felt the same about the top being covered up with a pot. As it is, there is a thin rubber mat on it to protect the soft pine from being scratched by the rough bottom of the pot. Future builds will have an in-laid ceramic tile.
