I have been working on a Stand for a 58g and thought I'd post a few pix...It has rounded corners, crown molding top and bottom, picture frame doors and the tank sIts down into the stand to hide the trim. It will be stained Cherry. Here are a few pix. I need to do some finish sanding to start the stain tomorrow.

It took about 8 hrs to the point I am at now, final sanding to get ready for stain. It will take another 8-10 hrs to complete final sanding, staining and clear coat. A lot of wait time left...
