Wooden Stand for Aquarium in Media Studio

Over the past two months, the Ganapati Kulam has been working on a cabinet that will support a 115-gallon display aquarium. The cabinet is made from Formosa Koa and patina copper. It is made from the exquisite wood originating from the same tree as the Cedar Room table, and displays the same beautiful, curly grain. The cabinet is joined together through the use of floating tenons, and has been built strong enough to withstand the 1000+ pound weight of the filled aquarium it will support.

The wood has been finished in a hand-rubbed style using six coats of polymerized tung oil and wax. The resulting surface of the wood is silky smooth and is almost as reflective as a mirror. A heavy bronze medallion will be affixed to the back side. We are excited to see it come together to completion in the next few weeks!
