Every now and again, you get to build a 'Odd Ball' piece of furniture.. But that makes it fun... This is a 'Morris' style podium, You adjust the tilt by setting the pins as you would a morris chair, and there are a set of adjustable pins for the lower shelves as well..

Front shot

great looking piece. i have never seen anything like this before. very innovative.

Great piece! Congratulations. Looks like something that should be used at Grove Park Inn conference.

you should post this on the style 1900 or american bungalow pages. bruce johnson might see it and purchase for the grove park affair...

just a thought.

Is it intended to be a speakers podium or just a library style display podium?

...while we're on the subject, here's a reading stand example I saved from an ebay listing:

Very nice!

Good Morning Friends,
These are some other things that I can and will make for my local library to be used by many in London Ohio where I live.
Thank you for posting them.

Respectfully,

I love odd ball pieces.. such a nice change from building 'the same thing'


I have 2 other oddball ideas..

~ A morris settle..

~ A hardtop ottoman/coffee table.. the idea with this was a long coffee table (about 5-6 ft) and 20" deep or so.. the center would be set on a pivot that would allow it to 'flip' and lock into place (a center panel set in a large frame) and would have a hard top on one side, and a cushion on the other side.

The piece was just finished for a new local business, a couple restored a bui;lding back to the original mission interiors, and have it set up as a banquet room.. So it is really to be used as a speakers podium.
