I made this this quilt stand for my Wife's Christmas present. It's made from red oak and stained with Minwax stain & sealer. Tomorrow I'll apply 2 coats of Minwax Poly Satin topcoat before I go to work.The plans are from the free plan offer in Decembers woodcraft magazine: http://www.woodcraft.com/quiltplan/quiltplan.aspx.

My wife sews a lot of quilts and has several of the store bought quilt stands but they look cheap and when I saw the plans for this stand I knew I had to build it for Deb. Deb has been after me for a long time to build her one. During construction she was banned from the garage, boy is she going to be surprised. I'm pretty sure my next project will be an oak king size bed now that the world didn't end today. LOL!

This was an enjoyable project to build and I used just about every tool in the shop. It took a little over 6 days to construct. They call it a weekend project, they just didn't say how many weekends.

Thanks guys!

I may have to build another one and increase the length and the separation between the rungs. Our quilts are for a king and queen size bed but that won't happen until after the first of the new year.

Looks good. I like the shaping you did on the corners. kind of flows and seems right to not have sharp corners. My wife quilts so I might have to make one of these.

Thanks Mark the bottom feet were cut on the band saw then sanded on my oscillating spindle sander before attaching to the legs. The top sides were cut with a jig saw and then sanded with the drum sander. Everything is laid out in the plans. My port-a-line came in very handy for drilling the dowel holes in the side assemblies for the quilt rails and the bottom shelf. To drill them on the drill press would have been doable but awkward.
