180 stand
« on: October 07, 2012, 08:15:13 PM »
Anyone who has been to my house this summer has seen the 180 gallon "clam habitat" and the stand that I picked up that went with it.

The stand was made by the former owner and is made out of Philippine mahogany.  Here's a couple of pics of before and after:

I'm hoping to get some of the boards he still has left and make a matching canopy.  My wife doesn't know it yet, but I hope to put it in the foyer when I'm done  :)
