    I haven't had a whole lot of time these last few days, but I did manage to play with a bit of wood. This stand is made from Olive. Thought I'd use some of the natural edge that was on the piece I picked up Saturday. The slot for the brush is a bit wider on this stand, it will work better for brushes with thicker handles.
    Anyways......... here's a few pics.

    Not sure if I really like it, so I'll let everyone here vote yay or nay.

    The driftwood look, and... olive wood. A great combo. I like it!

    YAY
    I like it.
    It does fit in certain decors, which I don't follow very well.
    Eclectic is what the stand is.
    I like it LOTS

    Very nice! I love the rough natural edge balanced against the gloss finish. Good job.

    I love the grain of olive wood. Personally, I'd go for less bark and more grain... course it appears i'm in the minority. :ashamed001
    Your craftsmanship looks spectacular.

    Thanks everyone. I forgot to say that the rod between the Olive pieces is Ebony. I enjoy turning ebony and I keep the dust. Works great for filling cracks in wood, and being black.... it's easy to hide on a really grained piece of wood.

    Ok, I will be posting both stands tomorrow in the Classifieds. The Olive stand had a couple little modifications done to it. The Honey Locust will have a couple pics of it broken down into 2 pieces. Will post as soon as I get home from work about 3PM. Gotta go Oblivion now.....:rofl

    Nice stuff, Dennis. The only thing I would have added was a dimple at the bottom of the straight side so the monkey tail wouldn't slip out. Very cool look.
