Luggage Stand
My wife asked me to make a Luggage Stand for our guest bedroom out of White Oak to match the rest of the bedroom furniture and 4mm untanned vegetable leather. She found a picture of one online that she liked from a very talented maker in Argentina and asked me to basically replicate it. The original is flat-packed for shipping purposes, but mine is all hand cut mortise and tenon joinery. I did use a tailed router for the slots, but everything else is all hand tools.
Thanks for looking!

Looks great, Brit! Are the straps leather, I’d assume?
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
Very nice looking, every detail perfect.

Hi Andy, great work as always! The joinery looks awesome and I like the light color (colour?) of the leather against the oak.

I’d be happy if I were her too. Your workmanship is impeccable.
Came out fantastic Andy! A really clean and elegant piece.
Nice work as always, Andy. I'd have been stapling the leather to the inside of the wooden frame and then kicking myself when a staple pulled loose. I like the wooden dowels to hold the ends of the leather.
But no decorative stitching down the edges of the straps? Slacker! ;-)

May you have the day you deserve!
Gorgeous! Looks like a lovely match to the tone of the room.
