Verrrry nice... How did you do the door?

Thanks, THe door was a pain. But with some help from familyreefer i took some 2X4's and cut them out to the curve of the bow front. Then nailed the bead board to the curved 2X4's and thats how i got the curve.

Simple, elegant, and fairly easy! The stand looks great- I'll have to come by and check it out once you've got it up & running. I'll even donate a blue mushroom or two that you were admiring
