This would go in the living room. I want to modify the plans, using a triangle center post, straighten the arm lines, and replace the discs used in the AWW plans with triangles. Lower set of arms would be 120 deg apart. Upper set would also be 120 deg apart and would extend in opposite direction of lower set. Lower set arms will be longer than upper.
The idea would be a triangle theme throughout, rather than rectangles/circles.
The modified plan would allow 7 plants rather than 9. I think 9 is overkill for our living room location.
Thinking bloodwood post, arms. Triangular pot bases would be bubinga. Probably use wenge accent pieces.
As a compromise I guess I could use triangular post and discs for the pots to sit on instead of triangles.
So, whaddya think about the design shape...and wood selection?
