This is the guitar stand that I made using red oak. I steamed the curved parts at 180F for about 2 hours after pre-soaking the pieces in a home made PVC steam box. Once I removed the pieces from the steam box I had about 10 minutes to get the piece into the mold and clamp it tight. Quite a learning experience. After some pre-assembly using mortise and tenon joints, I sealed the grain of the wood, then stained the stand using an aniline dye that I mixed myself. I then rubbed in three coats of a varnish.
