I am looking for plans for carving a wooden tripod (three-legged stand) out of one piece of wood. You know, the kind you've seen in gift shops where the tripod is used to display a bottle, potted plant, etc. I've carved chain links out of one piece of wood so I guess it would be similar. Worst case scenario is I'd have to buy one of these and reverse engineer it, but maybe someone has drawings or can direct me to a website that has such.
thanks in advance, unardo

Nope, I don't know. The one's I've seen were glued together from cut pieces. Try googling.

There are African ones all over European curio shops carved from one piece. If you have a picture, then the rest is straightforward.
You need a _big_ blank though, in something carvable.

Hah, last time I was in Europe, was '79, and just palling thru. But now that I think of it, here's a one piece wine bottle holder.
