How to build this stand

[ndz98]

Does anyone have an idea on how to build a stand like this? Do they use 2 x 6's? Thanks in advance!

I believe they probably started with a 2x4 support frame then skinned it with 3/4 material.

+1 on the 2x4s and skinned. It looks to be alot of trim work as well.

Yes I could tell you exactly how to build that if you'd like to know

Simple; trim is your friend, often overlooked unless someone uses it then everyone notices it. It is all about the little details that make a difference.

@lilchris_357 @dcraigj Couldn't I just use the 2x6 as the support frame though and instead of using 2x4 and skinning? It just seems that it would be bulkier and more unneeded work.

You could but 2x6 material is not idea for staining. Using 2x4 framing you can use a better quality wood to skin it and get a nicer looking finished product.

That does not look skinned. Patience with sanding and stain is your friend

2x4 is better option with fine quality wood..
