peacock napkin holder

[preprius]

an ex-coworker got married in India and now he came back.  I created this for his wedding gift.  

purpleheart body and tail napkin slots,

lacewood, wing body

olive wood legs

wenge for base. 

i wanted extra backend support with maple. 

All pieces are from scraps.  

once the legs to base glue is cured I will use Osmo polyx protective finish.

I like it. very well done. Put some napkins in it and really show it off. I know they will really like it.

 

 

Brings back memories from here when the craze was hitting this site with napkin holders. I did a few and here is one of mine, I guess a peacock.

@JTTHECLOCKMAN I saw napkin holder patterns in pattern library and they inspired me.
It was pretty top heavy with purple heart. I just needed to beef up the mass of the stand.  Wenge is pretty heavy. The base is 4inches diameter.
I still like the use different wood for coloring.  

I just ordered some peacock napkins from amazon.
