3 Tier Cake Stand

[Eric Harvey]

i made this cake stand late last year and forgot to take pics and post here,its made from Elm,Ebony and Purpleheart.The lower tier is 12 1/2" wide,the middle tier is 9 1/2" wide and the top tier is 7 1/2" wide,the base under the lower tier is 4" across,the stands total height is 19 1/2",the rounded edges of the three tiers have ben hollowed to make it lighter and each tier is 2-4 mm thick including the hollowed edges.The uprights have been threaded so it can be taken apart for storage,cheers,Eric.

Eric,

It looks totally wrong - a cake stand without cakes, come on!

But I can't fault the turning, in fact I rather like the ring at the top for picking it up. If possible any chance of a close up of that area to see the way you've connected it all together please.

Eric it look good enough to go with Tea at the Ritz

It would go down well at the Ritz as said above but would be improved with better finishing.




Something like a layer of cupcakes would do it.

Graham,the lower tier got a bit thin,ie; 1 mm,so didn`t dare do anymore sanding or it would have gone through,actualy went through in one spot,hence the piercing in 3 places to hide the hole,the rest of it is finished perfectly,Eric.

[Graham]

I wasn't really suggesting that there was anything wrong with the finish Eric, merely that a cake stand needs cakes on it

Eric a lovely job all round.I love the fact that you have taken advantage as the opportunity arose to have a go at piercing.

Dr4gonfly,if you look at pic 3 theres a close up of threaded connecting method,cheers,

Eric.

Eric, I like the combination of the timbers, the well thought out layout and detail... being threaded it's just like great-grandma's ... now the fancies ... more a cream cake/chocolate eclair man .. ..
