    Curly Cherry Plasma Screen Stand: Lot-o-Pics

    Overview: It has been a long time in the process, but here is my latest creation. It’s an adaptation of a Thos. Moser design. It was built for client who wanted to show off his 50” plasma screen TV. I’ve never built anything like this before and it was quite a challenge to figure out how I wanted to build it. This project seemed to fight me every step of the way. But I’m grateful that it turned out as well as it did.

    Wood: Cherry in all it’s forms along with hard maple drawers with birch ply bottoms. Today it is very overcast – of course. The day I finally get to snap some shots, and the sun isn’t out! Needless to say, the figure really pops in the sun!

    Hardware: All hardware is from Horton Brass except the L brackets which are from the local Borg and then blued using Gun Blue. The drawer slides from Lee Valley.

    Finish: I opted not to use an undercoat of BLO on this project. Because of all the separate parts, I figured I wanted to do as little finishing steps as possible so I shot just straight lacquer.

    I think that's about it. If I left anything out, I'm sure you'll let me know.

    Thanks and have a blessed weekend!!!

    Well, Jason, I hadn't seen anything from you in a while, so this is a nice surprise.

    Wonderful work, as usual, beautiful execution, design, joinery, and wood selection. Did I miss anything?

    You are an inspiration to all on this board.

    Keep up the good work (and inspirational posts).

    Well done Jason, I really like the piece. The use of lacquer only was a good selection, anything else would have understated the cherry and the design.

    Another great project! This is no small achievement. I love the choice of wood and the way you made the most of the grain. The design comes across as balanced, and refined. I know what you mean when you say the project seemed to fight you every step of the way. I recently had that experience on a small jewelry box I built for my mother.

    Have a wonderful easter - you deserve a rest!

    Congrats
    Hans

    Very nice Jason, Now I'm inspired! Great project. Also, just wondering where you find your source of Cherry. It looks like nice select Cherry. Ron
