Although not an exact copy of an original, this plant stand was inspired by a similar stand in walnut built about 200 years ago. We used bird's-eye maple instead of the walnut, and added chamfers and lamb's tongues to the legs.

 

By careful layout of the various parts you can make this plant stand from a single 1 inch thick by 6 inch wide by 6 foot long board. You'll have almost no waste left over.
