Designing Your Stand
Before you start cutting wood, think about what your plant needs. A small accent stand for a single plant? A multi-tiered display for your collection? Maybe a sleek, modern look or something rustic with reclaimed wood? Sketch it out or mock it up digitally—this is your chance to get creative!
Designing Your Stand
Before you start cutting wood, think about what your plant needs. A small accent stand for a single plant? A multi-tiered display for your collection? Maybe a sleek, modern look or something rustic with reclaimed wood? Sketch it out or mock it up digitally—this is your chance to get creative!
Choosing Materials
Hardwoods like oak, walnut, or maple make for sturdy, long-lasting stands, while softer woods like pine can give a more rustic feel. Want something bold? Try mixing wood with metal or even adding an epoxy accent for a unique touch.
The Build Process
Cut & Assemble: Whether you’re making a simple three-legged stand or a tiered shelf-style display, precise cuts are key. Dry-fit your pieces before assembly to make sure everything lines up.
Joinery Matters: Depending on your design, pocket holes, dowels, or traditional mortise and tenon joinery can give your stand a professional touch.
Sand & Finish: Smooth edges, round over corners if needed, and choose a stain or finish that complements your home. For extra protection, seal it with a waterproof finish—especially if watering gets a little messy!
