Granddaughter's TV Stand (pics)

[John_LA]

Just finished up this TV stand for my granddaughter. Case is maple ply with a solid maple base and edging. Top is also maple ply with walnut edging. The star of the pic is my 4 yo granddaughter Anissa.

Thanks for looking.

Striking work John! I really like the design and the contrasting woods and the glass doors and, of course, the granddaughter :icon_thum

Thanks Roger

The doors are plexi for the obvious safety reasons.

John,

Just plain beautiful !!

The TV cabinet is pretty too!

Good job!

Thank you for sharing.

How did you attach the walnut to the maple ply?
Simple butt joint & glue?

Thanks Joe,
Yes, basically although the walnut does sit on top of the case. So it is glued both to the case and to the top. I figured I could get away with it as the both the case and top are ply.

Excellent, beautiful TV stand, and beautiful grand-daughter. I am sure a smile like that is worth more than you could ever consider selling the piece for.

Nicely done! Just curious -- how much did you have to pay the great model? She's dynamite! Isn't being a Grandparent the best?!!

Dave,
Thanks and you are correct - Nothing like that smile, makes the piece priceless !!


Rob,
Thanks, All I had to do was ask for a smile and she comes up with the best poses. Really easy to work with. There is nothing like being a Grandparent

Great work! The contrast really adds something to the already great craftsmanship. The granddaughter is as cute as they come too. You should be proud of both.
