Cookbook Stand

[cowboyup3371]

If you saw my other post, you know I wanted to give my congratulations for the person behind the Whitney Woodworking Farm Scene as that was a fantastic pattern and definitely very challenging to cut.  As promised, here is the finished cookbook stand where that pattern is used.  I used Curly Cherry with Walnut for the screw hole plugs and handmade knobs with General Finishes oil-based Gloss Arm-R-Seal.  I designed the tilt feature based on some others I found but slightly modified since I could only connect them via the sides because of the pattern.   This way she can either leave it on counter as a display when she's not cooking or tilt it back to work from.

Stunning, a work of art.  It's amazing !!

So nice, it is a shame to cover it up with a cook book.  The overall construction is just super!

So nice the work you put in as well as the job or book stand looks  beautiful as a decoration and stand for books.

[goldfish]

Wow thats really cool.

[trackman]

That is a great idea!  I would think using a backer would help show off the fretwork better. Just my 2 cents worth.
