This is a Curly Cherry hybrid aquarium stand.
Working with our extrusion company we have developed a system to eliminate the center leg on aquariums up to 60” in length!
Please be kind, I need to lose 40 lbs and cameras make me nervous! Lol
I’ll add more photos in the comment area.

Check out this Mid-century modern aquarium stand. Built of solid ribbon stripe Sapele. The case and foot are dovetail construction.
This stand will hold a 55 gallon freshwater tank. Once the tank is installed we have matching trim and low profile lid to hide the ugly plastic on these standard tanks.
This stand is heading to Baltimore MD!

Sorry, I haven’t posted in the last few months, been slow getting quotes out and just kind of hard to get ahold of.
We have been extremely busy building cabinets, furniture and aquarium stands.
Well, the day finally came after months of getting the shop ready and learning to program in 5 Axis. The new machine is here!
Let the fun begin!!

Many of the stands and canopies I’m doing these days are for very large tanks.
There is a huge difference in extrusion companies and the types of connections being used.
Below is the skeleton of a 96x36x36 and canopy framing.
As well as the heavy duty corner brackets and the smaller standard brackets.
There is a good example of the standard duty extrusion as well as the heavy duty.
Our standard duty extrusions are heavier than the competitions heavy duty.
Our heavy duty extrusions Set the Bar!
