Music stand

Hi,

A good friend asked me to build a variant of Krenovs Music stand as a present to her son who just begun a carreer as an opera singer. I normally want to do my own designs but if you should copy someone, Krenov is a good choice.


Have planned to have legs and stretchers in walnut, but could not get any decent lumber so I stick to my standard; untreated light and dark ash.
Made a few alterations compared to the originals (he did in fact two)
The height (excluding note rack) was increased to 120 cm. The opera singer is almost 2 meters.

Number of drawers were increased from two to three.
The not rack became an old design. Slender but not very durable.

Beautiful craftsmanship.  How did you attach those unique, attractive drawer pulls?

Every once in awhile, someone makes something that really captures your attention......for it's beauty......functionality......detail......and craftsmanship.

You've done that here.
