Front Side View of the Fern Stand

I was inspired to build this timeless Arts & Crafts Fern Stand by an article that I found in the February 2025 issue of Popular Woodworking magazine. That project is now available online:

https://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/fern-stand/

The information available at that link is comprehensive. But because of my fascination with this project, I was moved to create my own version of project plans with what I intended to be a much more thorough set of free, downloadable Instructions.
