Cheese wheel stand
-
Gidon,
I think stretchers would complicate it and detract from the look. But, that is what SketchUp is for. Have you tried modeling it. Then we can vote on this one or that one. But I like it as is.

OK joe, Hows this?
I added streachers and did one with the top tray supported on a frame rather than streachers.
Earl, I have a gut feeling that the one with the frame would be the sturdiest but I'm not comfortable with the look. I feel the frame takes in a rustic direction. Don't you think?

I think I like it without stretchers or aprons. I like the simplicity of the first one.
Only other thing I'd be tempted to try would be making it into a 3 leg table.

Gidon,
The one I like best is the stretchers top and bottom. The one I like least is the one with the aprons. When I first looked at the new drawings I was sure you made it taller too. But I measured it and found you hadn't. I must be the viewing perspective. I could go with the first one too. It is simple and elegant.

I've just finnished a restaurant and the Chef asked me if I would make a stand to display a large Cheese wheel that he'd brought from overseas. I put togrther this simple stand and I'd like your opinion regarding the shelf. I can't decide if I want to leave it like this or add streachers under it.
little off-topic: what do you mean with "overseas"? because that cheese comes exactly from my town!

I think the first one is plenty good and it looks to be relatively easy to construct. The others appear to be more complex and therefore more expensive. Unless your client has money to burn I'd go with number one.
What kind of cheese is it. I love cheese.

it's called "parmigiano-reggiano" or "grana". at least here in italy we call it that way.

I also think this one is better less complicated. Here is an addition I had

Julius, He ment over the seas country and thats what Italy is to Israel.
Great cheese by the way. Better than Grana padano.

Just a Thought
If the stand is just for cheese display, its fine. However if it is used to cut, the lip on the top may get in the way of cutting, or get easily damaged. A cutting board top or thick butcher block top is an option? The cheese is heavy and won't fall off the stand easily.

Mateo is right.
"Overseas" refers to a country across the seas from your own.
The stand is for display purposes only.Oh, great cheese by the way
