Turtle Tank Stand
Hello All,
Just finished a tank stand for the family turtles.
Myrtle, finished in tung oil using epoxied loose tenon joinery with veneered panels. Particularly pleased with the hand planed bevels it was a good excuse to get a LV block, LV planes are fantastic.
There is provision for a drawer should the turtles need one and the maker feels inclined.

Anyways no chance of a 4 footer, I like turtles but not that much
