I built this stand last month on the 28th, the story behind it is here with photos in case you missed it : http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/366250-New-Custom-Wood-Brush-and-Razor-Stand
The bamboo stock it is made out of had a high water content and I had to wait till 4 days ago to start the finishing process. I applied a stain I payed over $100 that I ordered specially made and used on my bedroom furniture I built to give it a rich cherry look. I varnished it in satin.
Overall I am happy with the design being my first stand but it could be nicer. It has given me a better artistic perspective on what I will do on the next stand. It will house 3 brushes and 3 razors. I would change the profiles next time and maybe incorporate ogee and classical profiles instead of just coves and a roundover. Maybe use sides sides instead of dowels. I am also inclining towards a design in which the razors are leaning and the brushes are hanging over them.
I get my ideas from my years of woodworking and the internet but the finished product will always have my personal touch. I hope someone here does not get upset I use part of a concept they posted..lol. I actually hope I inspire others with my ideas and work.
I plan on making the next stand once I collect 3 razors and 3 brushes. I am halfway there there now.
