* Finished is sanded, stained Golden Oak clear finish coat. On Heavy Duty Stand it includes a genuine buffalo hide leather tray cover.

Thanks to Chuck Pinnell for the idea of using pvc pipe instead of the wood dowels for supports. Also for the leather tray covers.

If you have a suggestion or improvement let me know. It will either be considered in the public domain or I can custom build you a stand if you want.
