Bookstand: William & Mary Rarity

[jim vojcek]

Charles, not sure where to post this bookstand.  Very nice layout in Popular Woodworking #186.  Never thought of a bookstand with William & Mary.  You have inspired me to make at least two!  Thanks for the great idea.

Jim, Thanks for the kind words. I hope you enjoy making the bookstands. Make sure to post or send me photos of your completed project(s).


Here's a link to the PopWood article abstract. They have not made the article available online.

You can also check out my blog for additional construction photos as well as a tutorial on how I "aged" the finish of this particular piece.

Yeah, very impressive presentation of what has to be a fairly rare form, i have never seen a W&M bookstand before either. The finishing aspect of Chuck's piece is outstanding, very thoughtful. I think many of todays woodworkers dont give the finish of their work the attention it deserves. IMO, it's just as important as the woodworking itself.
