I just finished designing and cutting this decorative plate easel. I wanted to make something that could be hung on the wall or used as a stand.
I cut it out of Oak and finished it with Golden Oak stain and Lacquer.
I wanted something that was relativity easy to sand, assemble and finish.
I plan on offering this on my site soon.

Tim,
Nice looking plate and stand! I have done something similar - this is a stand for signs or pictures. I stain/crackle paint then machine. The sides have rectangular "slots" to receive tenons on the back. No glueing is necessary. Your plate looks awesome, have you ever tried using epoxy?
Keep up the great work!

I have inlaid one of my plates using an epoxy sawdust mixture. You can see it here:
