This is Sprocket and his mum will pick up the stands and do the staining.

Re: Greyhound elevated drink stands

Nice work @AlanM52!

It looks like a solid design that I'm sure Sprocket and his mum will love.

 

The routed detail on the top looks excellent, but I think the best thing of all is that there isn't a single screw. 

 

Thank you for sharing.
