Hey Folks......hope everyone is keeping well.
If this is posted in the wrong area...please feel free to relocate.
Fair warning, this will be a longer term (probably a couple years) project...but I thought it would be neat to post pics of each stage.
I was mentioning to a neighbor that I wanted to build my own stereo stand......and that some of the more high end stands were made from solid hardwood.....often maple.
Well he took it upon himself to head out to the family farm where they were culling a few trees...took down a maple (70 years old)(that needed to be taken down)......cut part of the trunk into 3 - 6 foot 5" lengths........hauled it out to his cabin in the woods....where he just happened to have a saw mill.........and cut it into 2.5" thick slabs.
Dropped off two 6'5" lengths yesterday where they will sit in my garage for the next year slowly drying out.
....which thankfully gives me time to work on a design, pick up some power tools needed etc. etc.
Anyway.......pretty cool and super excited.........and a bit overwhelmed. LOL
So consider this step 1 in what I hope is a series of pics I will take towards finished product. Next pic probably not till 2022
