A beautiful 300lb solid brass bell that was on the USS Navy Icebreaker "Glacier" (AGB-4) needed a stand for its new home right by the Capital Building in DC. We used 4x6 solid white oak stained Pecan using Rubio Pure 2C. We used only mortise and tenons here. No screws! Except to mount the C channel. We used 3" C Channel to hang the bell and gave the top support a nice viewing port for the huge original 2" hammer forged nut to be seen. We put heavy duty low profile castors on the bottom of the stand to make this heavy boy mobile.
