so i've come to the conclusion that i want to build a stand that is not only going to last but look like furniture as well. so i'm calling out to all you super woodworkers for advice.
1st question: what kind of wood to use? i built my last stand out of oak covered ply wood - super sturdy stuff. any suggestions are appreciated as to what would you have used, ie solid pine, oak board etc.
2nd question: nails or screws?
3rd question: veneer, any one use it and if so where could you get locally, and what kind of tools required to shape and apply it?
4th question: what kind of stain and finish?
TIA
