This is an elegant book stand gracefully ornamented in Italian style. The stand
adds a touch of distinction when used together with a beautiful book to decorate
any room. The pattern is based on an old Italian design from the early 1900’s.
The book stand is made with 3/16-inch wood and is 13.4 inches wide and 11
inches deep.
Due to the thinness of the wood the project was able to be stack-cut, a process
whereby (in this case three) prepared boards are nailed together before doing
the scroll work. Thus, when done with each section three copies are made.
Then, one mixes and matches to get the best wood contrast. In this project
woods are Cedar, Oak, Maple, Walnut and Wenge.
With a shout out of thanks to Teo for help with the hinges.
