Jeffersonian bookstand

When you look at this you will say “what’s King trying to do, he has posted this before”. You would be right and you would be wrong. This is the 4th of these I have made. I have donated a couple for silent auctions for charities, kept one. This latest one I donated to our brand new library in town. They have it on a three tier stand as you go in the front door. The original was found in a cabinet at Monticello, at first thought to be a music stand, but Jefferson referenced it in writings that it was a book stand. It displays 5 different books at one time on 5 easels and turns 360 degrees. The original is now on display in the Smithsonian. It is of particular interest in this area because Jefferson’s summer home at Poplar Forest is only about 25 miles away. Thank you for looking.
