Wow that is a gorgeous stand. I am going to skin my stand this winter with white pine and stain it to match our cabinets. I would love to add some crown molding to match what we have in our house also. Patience in this hobby only pays off tenfold!!!

Menellis that is also a gorgeous stand and even more gorgeous canopy you two guys are awesome craftsman!!! I like to think I am that handy too, but have never tried my hand at skinning a tank. I have only done cabinets and crown molding in our last two houses. Do you think if I can do cabinets and crown molding that the skinning and canopy building would be a snap? I built my stand too with the DIY plans in the DIY forum of the website. I used 2x6's for the top frame and 2x4's for the bottom frame and used 2x2's for the legs and L'd the 4 outer corners of the stand for extra support. I also ran two center braces out of 2x4's across the top frame for rigidity.
