Waterfall TV Stand

This video shows you exactly how I made a walnut TV stand to sit on top of a credenza.  The TV stand has miter joints that allow the wood grain to flow from the top down the sides, giving it a waterfall effect.  If you want to know how to make those cool waterfall miter joints that you often see, then check this video out.

I was asked to make this TV stand for a customer.  The customer had a specific vision for how the TV stand should look in regards to the dimensions.  But I thought the idea of miters with a waterfall effect would be really nice and luckily the customer agreed!  In this project you will see the following:

• Choosing materials to make the TV stand

• Milling lumber

• Cutting miter joints on the table saw

• Reinforcing miter joints so that they are strong

• Making a floating, solid wood panel

• Applying a wipe on poly
