Begining construction on stand..(Pics)

Well I was going to cover the stand with Oak......untill I started adding up the cost of oak trim Yikes!!!!....

After looking at the stands at aquariumstands.net I think I may go with MDF and seal the livin daylights out of it. the MDF will be providing no structural support so even if it does get wet and swell it is only looks that suffer not the integraty of the stand.

I have a buddy who is a finish carpenter who owes me some work so It will look nice in the end.
