My mother-in-law has been in town this week to help with the new addition to the family (my son was born last week) and wanted me to make her a stand for her new pet parrot. It's nothing fancy, but it intended to be placed on a table next to her couch where her and her husband can put the bird down.
It's made of white oak, with a 3-ply bottom made up of 3/4 MDF, topped with self-adhesive cork, and then covered with 1/8" plexiglass. 
In the process of finishing (the plexiglass was covered with plastic to protect it)...  |

Looks like ol' "Polly" will be proud to sit on that! Nice work for a short time, Jer.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Nice work, Jeremy. That will also work if they replace the parrot with a ring tail lemur.

Now that's puttin' all of those fine shop tools to use on a great project! (I would say - tablesaw, bandsaw, lathe, drillpress, sanders, router and finish sprayer!?)
Very practical and unique! 
A fine job!

Jeremy ,
it looks great, I'm sure that the Parrot will love it, but we won't know for sure until it christens it .
