Putter Display

I wanted to build something that challenged me from a design perspective, something that wasn't "square".  For years I have collected putters and I  had been wanting a way to display one of them so I started sketching out a floor display that would hold a single putter, but would also function as a "practice hole".   Overall I was happy with the shape that I drew, now to transfer that to some wood.  This project is made from 6/4 Walnut.

Sketches

Main pieces cut out.

The "trunk" balances nicely on the base.

First time using the Festool Domino...amazing machine!

Multiple coats of Danish Oil followed up by a coat of paste wax.

Completed.
